Revealing the Truth
After years of continued fame and popularity, the fans of Den Harrow were faced with an unbelievable news, it was revealed both by the frontman of Den Harrow Stefano Zandri and the producers that they had been hiding the truth from their millions of fans. It was disclosed that Stefano Zandri did not actually sing his own songs; he was essentially a character who lip-synched to vocals produced by a number of other Italo singers. And since they did not consider Zandri's name and origin to be trendy enough, the producers R. Turatti and M. Chieregato had decided to invent a fictitious English based last name Manuel Stefano Carry as well as U.S. based birth place Boston Massachusetts, U.S. by concealing Stefano's true Italian origins to be able to market him more easily in the English speaking world. [1]
Most of the songs for Den Harrow project were sung by an American vocalist Tom Hooker Beecher (aka Thomas Barbey, who was residing in Italy during the Italo-Disco era), including Europe-wide hit singles "Don't Break My Heart", "Bad Boy", "Catch the Fox", and "Future Brain". During an interview Hooker explains why it was decided to be done this way:
“There was a small problem, however. He couldn't sing. So the solution was to never let him sing, or to put his voice so low in the mix that it was non existent. He started as an image. He would work on his costumes and clothes and someone else would sing on the records. The truth is, vision is a more developed sense in humans than hearing. People tend to buy and listen what they like to see.”
Also according to Tom Hooker, in the very beginning Chuck Rolando's voice was used in the singles "To Meet Me" and "A Taste of Love". Later on, Silver Pozzoli was chosen to do the single "Mad Desire"; however, Hooker also produced the vocals for the album releases of "Mad Desire". Even though, Tom Hooker continued co-writing tracks for Den Harrow project, producers felt to bring in another vocalist into the studio with a higher voice than that of Hooker's for the 1988 album called Lies. According to Tom Hooker; however, Stefano Zandri has sung on his 1991 single Ocean.[2]

Currently, Stefano Zandri continues to do live performances, especially in eastern Europe, still under the name Den Harrow, allegedly claiming that he has learned to sing himself.
In 1997 Stefano Zandri moved to California to take part in the TV serial Sunset Beach.
In 2005 hosted the TV show "Radio HARROW" on the satellite TV channel "Match Music".
In 2006 Stefano Zandri took part in a reality show: "L'isola dei famosi" on Rai Due, a channel of Italian public television.

Den Harrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Day after day all your memories get to grow
Putting all that you've stolen
In a prison that you've locked forever
Taking the place of our imagination
But you won't erase my heart
There is no way you can understand what I feel
You might know lots of things now
But you can never be a lover
Winning the race with your information
But you can't replace my soul
REFRAIN:
Future brain you make me wonder
Is it sane to make a sample of my love
Future brain you're getting stronger
It's a shame you'll never know how to find love
Living today but tomorrow will be the same
I know I can say that you will never win this game
No matter how much you know now
You will never get to know us never
Taking the place of an institution
But you can't replace my love
Future brain you make me wonder
Is it sane to make a sample of my love
Future brain you're getting stronger
It's a shame you'll never know how to find love
Future brain you great computer
It's insane to program everybody's love
Future brain your list is longer
But you're to blame 'cause you don't know
How stupid you are
Den Harrow’s “Future Brain” is a song that is a critique of the way in which technology, with all of its incredible abilities to gather, store, and analyze data, can still never truly replicate the human heart or soul. The lyrics speak to the idea that people can never be fully understood or known by analyzing and quantifying data. The first verse speaks to the idea that people's memories and experiences cannot be simply accumulated and analyzed, as these things truly reside in the heart and soul. The second verse questions the value of knowledge and information if it cannot be used to connect with others and build loving relationships.
Overall, the song is warning against a future in which humans are replaced by machines that know everything about people but lack the ability to understand or connect with them on a deeper level. The chorus reinforces this message, saying that the “future brain” is only getting stronger but will never be able to love or understand as a human can.
In the end, the song is a message of hope and of warning, urging listeners to remember the importance of love and connection in a world where technology can easily replace human connection.
