The album was released in 1994 through Orangewerks and it was produced by Gareth Jones.

Next Wave: John Maus
John Maus is American avant-garde musician and composer. Although first drawn to our attention as a core member of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and keyboard player with Animal Collective's Panda Bear, Maus has proved himself to be an extraordinary musician with a distinctive sound in his own right. He released two album Songs in 2006 and Love is Real in 2007 through ‘Upset! The Rhythm. His music is melancholic, electro driven baroque pop with weird synthesizer lines and drum machine clicks. His voice reminds of Ian Curtis and Nick Cave.
Instant Hit: H2O- I Dream To Sleep
"I Dream To Sleep" was a minor hit for H2O in 1982/83. It was released in England and Germany and appeared on the album Faith from 1984. Their biggest success was as they opened up for Kajagoogoo on their UK tour with this song which reached number #17 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1983. The album has been reissued by Cherry Red Records and includes all songs from the album plus bonus tracks.
