This band was formed by Analogy members Jutta Nienhaus and Martin Thurn in London in 1977. After a short excursion into Jazzrock, the band concentrated on a particular style of New Wave and published an EP (South Kensington, The Robot, Liberated Lady) and a Single (The Robot, Liberated Lady) with Archway Records, London, in 1979. Apart from many gigs on the London circuit and in southern England, the band had two Italy tours in 1978 and 1979. In 1980, most of the Earthbound musicians recorded an Analogy album called The Suite (refer to Analogy) before they disbanded. The line-up on the EP is: Jutta Nienhaus (vocals), Martin Thurn (guitar) - both ex-Analogy - Richard (Dick) Brett (bass), Scott Hunter (drums) - later with Jethro Tull (Catfish Rising) and Larry Miller - and Mike Morgan (piano).
