They run in the same orbit as Ottawan, Baccara, Modern Talking, Gloria Gaynor and Patrick Hernandez, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Vinylshakerz, Gilla, Musical Youth, Ilya Lagutenko and Todd Terje, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
