They sold a demo tape recorded and produced by Nick Langston at Stargoat Studios near Banbury . The demo featured three songs: “Flying”, which featured a 20-second countdown at the beginning, the recording of a rocket launch and then a fast guitar-based section which appeared to be influenced by the Stone Roses ; “Inside of Me”, mostly similar in style but with a slower, funk-inflected jam at the end; and a guitar-based ballad simply titled “(Slow Song)” on the tape. The band enjoyed enough success to release one single in 1992, “Just Got Back Today”, on Nude Records , which is now a highly sought-after rarity. Second single, “Tightrope” was never released due to disagreements with Nude Records (but does appear on the compilation CD Days Spent Dreaming ), the band split up soon after this in the fall of 1992. Andy Davies went off to university and Nic Goffey went on to form a directing partnership with friend Dom Hawley, later directing many videos for Supergrass.
