They run in the same orbit as HVOB, Groove Armada, WhoMadeWho, UNKLE and Underworld, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Björk, Scratch Massive, John Grant, Vök and Emilíana Torrini, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
