Following the demise of Levitation, Hayes began working with Heather Nova and All About Eve's Julianne Regan and O'Keefe collaborated with Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry, whilst Francolini stopped playing due to disillusionment with the music industry (although he did help Scottish band Octopus get signed to Food Records and produced their debut album From A to B).
The trio booked a studio and started rehearsing the day after they went to see Sonic Youth play at The Forum in Kentish Town in April that year.
[3] The album was followed by re-releases of "Graceadelica" and "I Am The Sun" (albeit in remixed form), which gave the band two Top 40 UK Singles Chart hits.
[4] Despite lead-off single Strangers And Madmen being premiered on the BBC Radio 1 show The Evening Session, the band parted ways with EMI shortly after.
David Francolini returned to Bristol and set up a recording studio, as well as forming a new studio-based band with singer Anthony Tombling Jr, called Dragons.
[8] Christian Hayes toured with the Pet Shop Boys as live guitarist (reproducing parts originated by Johnny Marr) and worked as guitar tech/tour/production manager for the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Kula Shaker and David Cassidy.
[10] In 2011, Hayes organised and compiled the tribute record Leader of the Starry Skies in aid of Cardiacs frontman Tim Smith, who had suffered two strokes in 2008 which left him paralysed down one side of his body and unable to speak.
[6] An unmastered seven-track version of the scrapped second album, titled Zurich and omitting "Roman Road" and "Valentine", had been leaked within a couple of years of the split.
In January 2015, Christian Hayes appeared on Brighton & Hove Community Radio show The Real Music Club, where he stated that he hoped to release the second album that year.
[18] In January 2022, Hayes guested on The C86 Show where he shared news that the long shelved second album had recently been finished and was ready for mastering.
