In 1983

There are few things that need to be mentionned... my attempt to make a band called: HVK :Heinrich Von Kleist, named after the german romantic poet ended with a single called: "Manikin" , released on AZ Records.

in 1984

I resurfaced with a band called the BLITZ , signed on Barclay's, the single: "SOUS LE PAVILLON NOIR", "UNDER THE JOLLY RODGER" started to climb up the charts , making it to number 17.

and then what...? Polygram bought Barclay ... the "Real" Barclay was over...

in 1987

New band: The Duellists : one single: To Save you from the Fire". signed onto "Rideau Rouge" and the opportunity to record with Trevor Vallis a sound engineer and producer met a few years earlier @ the Chateau d'Hérouville.

I was not happy at all in France anymore...something was broken and I needed to go , to break away from these obsessions and eventually on March 23rd 1988 I boarded a flight to New Delhi which changed the rest of my Life.

There's Before & After...

You may leave India but India will never leave you.+.

And as soon as I came back , My mind was set and I headed straight for England again.``

My tapes had been picked up by Patsy Winkelman from Warner UK and she speeded up my return to England.

I first stayed in Kent with Treor Vallis and via South London, I ended up in Highgate N6 , Camden Borough where I was gonna spend the next ten years.
The Summer of Love was ON!...electro Atari teen age Riot please ! . Some most welcome changes you might say, and how Technology can be Ground breaking.

My London walks took me to the Megadog @ Holloway Road, The Venue @ Brixton, Killing Joke, Youth @ Butterfly studios, Shamanarchy @ Shoreditch, Megatripolis @ Charing Cross, the Bass clef @ Old Street, the Big Chill @ Islington, Ultimate hardcore @ Lewisham, and Birmingham to play with my Warner UK drummer friend and glamour twin :Fuzz Townshend. Fuzz became PWEI's drummer, and later on joined Bentley Rythm Ace.

Another extremely big Encounter was the meeting with Tim Beckham , genius guitarist , who played with Jeffrey Lee Pierce and the Gun Club and the American Music Club.

Meeting up and playing with Eddie Branch, killer bass player , he had just let the Peter Murphy experience , was unique. Fantastic rehearsals in Northampton, sharing Daniel Ash's barn ( BAUHAUS , Love and Rockets ) on Lord Spencer's estate.

not to forget Jay Burnett top american producer, Boundary Row studios, Laura Bouisse
