Drinking Electricity were a post-punk/synthpop trio from Edinburgh, Scotland active during the early 1980s.
[3] They were signed by former Fast product boss Bob Last to his new Pop: Aural label.
Their third single was their own composition, "Cruising Missiles", and was the last for Pop: Aural, with Heighway and Rome setting up their own Survival label for subsequent releases.
The album was not well-received critically, with Trouser Press describing it as "simple, rather plain synth-rock with a strong electronic beat and thin ancillary instrumentation".
[2] The Survival label went on to become one of the premiere "minimal wave" labels of the 80s, with releases by the likes of Richard Bone, Tik and Tok, Thirteen at Midnight, and Play, and several releases by Capercaillie.
