I have just discovered their material and I'm really impressed by it and will be getting the Fearless album. Does anyone remember their stuff?.

If not here's a video of I'm Not Scared.

Might be worth remembering that their only hit was in fact written by The Pet Shop Boys- just in case anybody assumed that Kensit had any talent.

How harsh of you. Anyways, given the years after Eighth Wonder there are hundreds of acts who can claim that in the manufactured pop world.

Cross My Heart reached the dizzy heights of number 13 - so a two hit wonder.

Fearless is good, but try getting the (elusive and expensive) Japanese remix album !!

Thanks for the tip soapboyz2005, the Japaneses remix album does sound pretty illusive, I will have to look futher than eBay and Amazon.

Forget Amazon, i've looked and there's not a sausage. I've also tried www.eil.com and they don't have it (they have EVERYTHING !!)

I want a copy now !!

I bought the LP earlier today from a record store for only £2. I was thrilled that they even had it but when I mentioned the remix album to the guy in the store, I may as well have been speaking in a foriegn langauge. I will still keep looking out for it in some pretty good record shops.

Well this is a blast from the past of a thread! I remember my sister had the soundtrack to Absolute Beginners - what a flop that film was!

The 10" mix of "I'm Not Scared" was really good- a cross between the 7" and 12". There's also a VERY elusive USA promo remix by "Little" Louie Vega which is worth hunting down.

Is there some dodgy Europop version of "I'm Not Scared" doing the rounds at the moment? The song was on repeat in Fuerteventura lat week, but I'm sure it's not the Eighth Wonder version because the French bit was different.
