The band’s last album of the 80’s, Technique was their first to chart at no.1 spot in the UK, with the lead single from the album, ‘Fine Time’, narrowly missing out on the top 10 in the singles chart. 

The band spent four months recording part of the album in Ibiza where they were fascinated by the Balearic sounds of the island before moving on to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios to finish off the recording.
