This track appears on their album From The Inside, marking a period where the band was gaining traction in both Europe and the U.S. A Split-Second, formed in 1985, initially started as a solo project by Marc Heyndrickx, known as Marc Ickx. Peter Bonne, also known as Chrismar Chayell, joined as a producer and later became an official band member. The duo’s collaboration led to the creation of their debut EP in 1986, featuring the hit single “Flesh,” which played a pivotal role in the birth of the New Beat genre. After a lineup change, with Philip Vargod leaving and Bonne stepping in, A Split-Second continued to evolve their sound.
