After hearing Robert Gordon’s remix of their cover of Sigue Sigue Sputnik ‘s ” Love Missile F1-11 ” and Age of Chance ‘s mini-LP Crush Collision (also engineered by Gordon), the band glimpsed their future as hip-hop/dance/rock pioneers and recorded their debut album, Box Frenzy , with Gordon at Sheffield’s FON studios in June/July 1987. The band met the Designers Republic , with whom they partnered for many years. The album was released on manager Craig Jennings’ Chapter 22 label. Jennings still manages the band to the present day along with the roster at his firm, Raw Power Management. Crabb, now more immersed in finding samples and songwriting, moved from the drums to become a vocalist alongside Mansell; he was replaced by a drum machine called Dr. Nightmare. March handled programming duties and became the band’s expert in that area.
