In 1991 Strange Nature, a coupling taken from two separate lines from a Jimi Hendrix song, recorded a series of demos at Matrix Studios London that gained the attention of East West Records, Warner Brothers, and more notably record executive and tour manager for Aerosmith, Kick Van Hengel.
Hengel's music management company Tantamount Artist Management signed the band in 1991 and by 1992 TAM struck a three-album, 9 single deal with Pete Waterman's PWL label via record former CBS record executive David Howells.
