The 1988 follow-up album Strange Kind of Love (which featured Toto's Jeff Porcaro on drums following the departure of Kerr) was overseen by Steely Dan producer Gary Katz and featured the minor hit Halleluiah Man which helped to establish a sizeable following for the band. The more restrained production and the band's refined and tight funk sound made the album almost unrecognisable from their earliest work. Further singles Strange Kind of Love and Jocelyn Square charted, although they did not break into the Top 40.
The band toured extensively to promote Strange Kind Of Love, including the United States and Japan and garnered support slots with Tina Turner, Simply Red and BB King. Part of the band's performance at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness was filmed for BBC Scotland's Sounds of Eden programme. A half-hour set from the band also featured on the Night Network television show and they performed the Strange Kind Of Love single on Wogan.
Strange Kind of Love, which has sold in excess of 250,000 copies worldwide, was re-released in April 2010 with added demos and new sleeve notes from James Grant, Paul McGeechan and Gary Katz.

Famous quotes containing the words strange, kind and/or love:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Turning the other cheek is a kind of moral jiu-jitsu.”
—Gerald Stanley Lee (1862–1944)
“Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
