Alan Gill was the guitarist/songwriter for the synthpop band Dalek I Love You.
He also played guitar in The Teardrop Explodes and co-wrote their top ten hit "Reward". During this period, Gill introduced lead singer Julian Cope to LSD.[1] According to Cope, Gill was arrested and put in jail for 18 months for being a drug dealer. His defense was that he gave most of the drugs away.[2] He performed on their 1980 album Kilimanjaro before leaving the band to concentrate on Dalek I Love You.
After the band released their final album, Gill turned to film scoring, most notably for the 1985 film Letter to Brezhnev. In 1985, Gill formed the Bopadub label which released cassette compilations, one of which was the Dalek I Love You album Naïve.
