They run in the same orbit as Planetary Assault Systems, Josh Wink, Plastikman, Chris Liebing and Takkyu Ishino, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Mike Oldfield, New Order, The Shamen, Depeche Mode and Mory Kanté, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
