Warner Brothers history.

Answer: True

"Master And Servant" was released on Aug. 20, 1984 as a single with

that they "spent seven days mixing the track, and then we accidentally
left the snare drum off at the end."

8. "Ice Machine" was the B side to?

Answer: Dreaming of Me

"Dreaming Of Me" was selected by the group as their debut single

poppiest material and some of the darker, less melodic tracks they'd
been playing live.

Answer: True

The group is presently judged by Detroit and Chicago's house cognoscenti as prime movers in the new dance culture..."Policy Of Truth", is based around a sadistic, cynical electro-riff and oozes with genuine danger.

the song includes 'a castanet sound created by dropping a ping-pong
ball on to the table and a string "twang" that originated from a
traditional Hungarian instrument like a zither (also used on "Master
And Servant" and "People Are People")."
