[citation needed] Andrew then asked his friend Barry Smith (a former Radio Prague DJ)[3] if he too would be interested in joining.

[3] The group performed live regularly, often augmenting their core three-piece line up with either one or two acoustic drummers, and sometimes additional musicians playing extra synths and/or electric guitar.

Equipment used live included EMS Synthi AKS (usually thrown around by Barry 7), Korg MS-20, Moog Rogue, EDP Wasp, Omnichord, and ARP 2600.

[citation needed] They often utilized distinctive artwork for the videos and record sleeves, a fetishistic collage of sexual imagery with analogue electronic equipment, based in part on the movie and book Demon Seed.

The band signed to Mute Records and released three more albums, Avant Hard,[4] Add Insult to Injury and Loud Like Nature.
