In 1984, a project called Mankind's Audio Development was developed by Rob Hickson (vocals) and Pete Waddleton (bass) of eighties Gothic rock group Play Dead and signed on to Criminal Damage Records. Mankind's Audio Development was also known as "M.A.D." for short and featured the backing vocals of Michelle Ebeling (singer, Look Back in Anger). The group released one 12" single called "Sunfeast/Craving Single." It was the only known single recorded by M.A.D. The two songs "Sunfeast" and "Craving" were never released on to CD officially. Rob and Pete had made plans to make sequels to this single with completely different sounds and they were also planning to re-release the first single under their new independent label Tanz, depending on the band's condition after the release of Company of Justice. The reason for this is because they felt the people at Criminal Damage Records had no idea what they were doing. The sequels were (supposedly) never produced when Play Dead dissolved in January 1986.
The single was recorded at Blackwing Studios in July 1984 and produced by John Fryer and M.A.D.

Famous quotes containing the words mankind and/or development:
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“As a final instance of the force of limitations in the development of concentration, I must mention that beautiful creature, Helen Keller, whom I have known for these many years. I am filled with wonder of her knowledge, acquired because shut out from all distraction. If I could have been deaf, dumb, and blind I also might have arrived at something.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
