Their distinctive acid house sound is attributed to their skill at manipulating Roland TB-303 bass synthesisers,[1] using up to six of these machines at once. Their UK chart hits include "Hardtrance Acperience" (1992), "Trancescript" (1993) and the remix of the aforementioned "Acperience" (1997).[3] Their 1996 album, Home Run, peaked at No. 68 in the UK Albums Chart.[3]
