Maria Nayler

Maria Nayler is an English female singer on many electronic music releases. In the early 1990s she was part of the outfit Ultraviolet who released the two singles "Kites" and "I Wish That" in 1990 and 1991 respectively. In 1995, she appeared as featured vocalist on Sasha's proto-trance track "Be As One". Fourteen minutes in length, "Be As One" became one of the most sought after records of late 1995. It received a full release through Deconstruction Records in early 1996, peaking at number 17 in the UK Top 40. Later that same year Nayler teamed up with Italian producer Robert Miles, who, fresh from his pan-European singles "Children" and "Fable", applied her vocals to the UK track "One and One". The third single culled from Miles' Dreamland, "One and One" peaked at #3. In 1998, Nayler signed a solo deal with Deconstruction and released "Naked and Sacred", a cover version of a Chynna Phillips track. Featuring B side "The Other Side", produced by Sasha, as well as a speed garage remix from Tim Deluxe, "Naked and Sacred" reached #32 in the UK. The double A side "Love is the God"/"Will You Be With Me" was issued in August 1998. Eschewing the ethereal trance sound around which her other tracks had been based, "Will You Be With Me" (written by Martika) did not perform well commercially.

In 2000, Maria Nayler returned with "Angry Skies", which was produced by Tilt. The track reached #42 on the UK singles chart. The second 12" also featured the Sasha produced "She". In 2007, "Angry Skies" will be re-released on Lost Language.
