In total they released three studio albums and one live album. After they disbanded in 1996, two retrospective albums were released in 2001 and 2004.

Deighton subsequently played guitar for Paul Weller's band, and temporarily replaced Noel Gallagher in Oasis when he quit on tour in 2000.

Bryn Barklam went on to record with The Chords and play organ for the Buzzcocks at the Sex Pistols reunion gig at Finsbury Park. His current band is an instrumental trio consisting of organ, drums and guitar named Captain Hammond

Bud Shank ‎• Brasamba

One of the greatest albums of Brazilian jazz that Bud Shank ever recorded – done with a style that's a lot more like some of the best bossa albums from Rio at the time! Bud's recorded in other bossa settings before – but there's something about this record that really gets the whole thing right – as Shank's alto and flute come into play with a killer combo that includes Clare Fischer on piano, Larry Bunker on vibes and drums, Joe Pass on guitar, and Milt Holland and Chuck Flores on percussion. The added percussion really brings a lot to the set – and gives it a strongly bossa-driven groove that really lets Shank take off on alto and flute solos. Fischer's piano is remarkably strong – caught at that clear early point in his career when he was such a fresh voice on the scene. The whole thing's wonderful overall – and if you think you might have it under another name, check the song listings – because we bet you don't! Titles include "Sambinha", "Gostoso", "Elizete", "O Barquinho", "Brasamba", and "Otem A Note".

¡Uno de los mejores álbumes de jazz brasileño que Bud Shank haya grabado, hecho con un estilo que se parece mucho a algunos de los mejores discos de bossa de Río de la época! Bud grabó en otros ajustes de bossa antes, pero hay algo en este disco que realmente lo hace todo bien, cuando el alto y la flauta de Shank entran en juego con un combo asesino que incluye a Clare Fischer en el piano, Larry Bunker en vibraciones y tambores, Joe Pass en guitarra, y Milt Holland y Chuck Flores en percusión. La percusión agregada realmente trae mucho al conjunto, y le da un surco fuertemente impulsado por la bossa que realmente permite a Shank despegar en los solos de flauta y alto. El piano de Fischer es extraordinariamente fuerte: se vio atrapado en ese claro punto temprano de su carrera cuando era una voz tan fresca en la escena. En general, todo es maravilloso, y si crees que puedes tenerlo bajo otro nombre, consulta los listados de canciones, ¡porque apostamos a que no! Los títulos incluyen "Sambinha", "Gostoso", "Elizete", "O Barquinho", "Brasamba" y "Otem A Note".
