Marlow recorded the studio album The Peter Pan Effect with his best friend Vince Clarke during 1982–1984.
[2] The project came around when Marlow was in a band called Film Noir, with future keyboardist and guitarist for the Cure, Perry Bamonte.
He was offered one day, and decided to record "The Face of Dorian Gray", which then led to more studio time.
The singles suffered the same fate as "The Face of Dorian Gray", and the album was later shelved due to the lack of chart success.
Radcliffe then went up into the bell tower of Blackwing Studios, formerly a church, and found the tapes.
Durant, who played keyboards and provided backing vocals, had been a friend of Marlow for some time.
The duo has been active in live performances, including a Depeche Mode aftershow in February 2006, and various gigs around Europe, particularly in London and Sweden.
