History

Immediately after the appearance, the Scottish group gravitated to psychedelic indie rock. But the leaders of the team, Colin Angus and Will Sinnot, gradually went to the side of acid house . In 1988, after long experiments with sequencers and music programs, the guys discovered something new in music. For them, a rock concert was no longer just a concert in which the group gives music to fans, it had to become part of everyone so that everyone could bring something of their own. Soon, the leaders reduced the group to a duet and began to invite different DJs and MCs to perform. It was in this composition that their next album “En-Tact” was recorded, which became the symbol of the group. The guys were ecstatic from their achievements, and, it seemed, they could do anything. But in May 1991, Sinnot drowned in the ocean, and in his place in the group came rapper Mr. Sea. After that, the popularity of the group began to decline, and soon the team broke up.
