Post-punk-funk band from Manchester who were at the forefront of Factory's early output with singles such as "Flight" and "All Night Party".
In time, their sound began to include an increased amount of Latin-influences, particularly on the albums "Sextet" and "I'd Like To See You Again", before the band attempted a slightly more commercial approach on the "Force" album, their last for Factory in 1986.
Post-Factory releases include two albums for the major-label A&M ("Good Together" and "ACR:MCR"), various singles and albums on Rob Gretton's Robs Records and a selection of compilations and reissues on the Creation, Soul-Jazz and LTM labels, the latter also responsible for releasing a studio album, "Mind Made Up", in 2010.
