Charles Hayward (This Heat and more) and Tom Cora (Skeleton Crew and more) complete the basic line-up, though there are many guest musicians, including David Thomas, Amos and Tim Hodgkinson. Their first album 'Differently Desperate', released in 1992, mixes opera, post-punk, pop, and avant-garde to create a fairly unique mix. Ten years later, in 2002, they released what is their most-recent album to date, Home. .

With lyrics like “And there’s no ceiling when we close our eyes, there’s nothing but skies, just the bluest skies”, this is self-assured, escapist pop at it’s best. .
