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:
“We are participants, whether we would or not, in the life of the world.... We are partners with the rest. What affects mankind is inevitably our affair as well as the nations of Europe and Asia.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
