History

In 1993, Rogers and Biggar asked Krukowski and Yang to replace the recently departed rhythm section of Crystalized Movements. After the new quartet's first rehearsal, it was decided they should form a new band rather than carrying on as Crystalized Movements.^[1]

They went on to record three albums and toured Europe and the US before splitting up in 1996. Damon & Naomi returned to working as a duo, while Wayne and Kate formed Major Stars. The four members reformed for a one-off performance at the first Terrastock festival in 1997. They also reformed for the fourth Terrastock festival, where they performed as Children of the Rainbow, a tribute to the band MU.^[2]
