I remember them well Progman. I loved "Rainbow Chaser" with its phasing and futuristic (for the time) sounds. Wasn't it a minor hit single? I first came across them through the Island sampler "You can all join in" which included "Rainbow Chaser". "Tiny Goddess" and "Pentecost Hotel" were also good tracks. I wasn't so keen on "Local Aneasthetic", which I found a bit dull. The "All of us" album had a great sleeve, what was the full title again? Something about "The existence of time...........and so say ALL OF US" I think!

Actually I sure Rainbow Chaser was a major hit - no. 1 - one of those one hit wonders???? Where's the Guniness Book of Records?
The UK Nirvana successfully sued Cobain and co for using their name!! |

Thanks for having the right sort of reference - I was probably thinking of one of those Radio Caroline or Radio London charts, that seemed to have The Who at no. one at lot of the time. Still I rememeber it being requested a number of times on Children Favourites (with Stewpot????????????) and thinking thenit was a mighty strange choice for kiddies.
