A British pair whose 1982 hit "Always Something There to Remind Me" defined a certain glossy, atmospheric sound.
For the full picture, start with "Always Something There to Remind Me," then maybe "Voices In My Head." That's the duo in a nutshell.
They took a Burt Bacharach song and made it a synthpop standard, with Pete Byrne's vocals floating over Rob Fisher's keyboard arrangements. That track, along with songs like "Promises, Promises," captures the precise, slightly melancholic mood of early-'80s British pop. You still hear it on '80s retrospectives because it nailed that moment.
Formed in 1981, they released their self-titled debut in 1983 anchored by that hit. They put out a few more albums like Fuel for the Fire before disbanding in 1988, with Fisher later starting Climie Fisher and Byrne working sporadically.
