The group's first album, Advance and Follow, was released in 1995. This was a mixture of danceable synthesizer melodies and harsh electronic beats firmly in the tradition of middle-era EBM, supplemented with elements of orchestral music.

During that time Harris also wrote for the online magazine Side-Line of which he was the webmaster until 1999.

—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)

However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
