Their self-titled debut was released in 1997 and spawned the hugely popular single "Bentley's gonna sort you out". A sophomore effort 'For Your Ears Only' was released in 2000 but was less popular largely due to the unconventional (not to mention maddening) sounds and rhythms. A further single 'Madam, Your Carriage Awaits' was released. The group also compiled an excellent 2CD 'FSUK' compilation that is gloriously eclectic in its tracklisting.
