his bandmates to come up with a more commercially successful third album, in addition to shifting the Sound from Korova to WEA proper. In an act of rebellion, they responded with All Fall Down in 1982, an album that took them even further away from the mainstream. Drummer Mike Dudley explained: We thought [the label wasn't] giving us the support that we were due and that if they really wanted a commercial album, they had got to put plenty of money behind it, which with both Jeopardy and From the Lions Mouth they hadn't really done [...] So when they turned around and said, 'The solution is for you to write more commercial songs', we thought, 'Fuck you', and went ahead and produced All Fall Down.

While touring Spain in 1987, they had to cancel several appearances after Borland suffered a complete breakdown. Dudley recalled bringing an incoherent Borland home on a plane. The band split up in early 1988. Post-breakup activity Bailey moved to New Orleans, where he lived for 16 years, returning to the UK in 2007. Mayers died in 1993 due to complications with AIDS. Dudley retired from the music industry, living and working in South London. Following the collapse of the Sound, Borland maintained a solo career for approximately a decade, and participated in the side projects Honolulu Mountain Daffodils (under the alias Joachim Pimento) and White Rose Transmission. Never able to conquer his depression and anguished about returning to a psychiatric hospital, Borland, who reportedly suffered
