Following this he was joined by American singer Dudley Kludt (The Magnetic Fields) for the remainder of the groups life-time. They released a further few EPs before working on their first full length album Temperamental. a double a-side single was released from the album, Still Colours Waiting/Spooky and promotional videos for both tracks got some airplay on European music shows.
