The group's first album, Advance and Follow, was released in 1995. This was a mixture of danceable synthesizer melodies and harsh electronic beats firmly in the tradition of middle-era EBM, supplemented with elements of orchestral music.

During that time Harris also wrote for the online magazine Side-Line of which he was the webmaster until 1999.
