Featuring a core of three multi-instrumentalists, Peter Godwin, Duncan Browne and Sean Lyons whose debut ('Metro') was released in 1976 on

coincidentally harking back to the band's name, the music being strongly evocative of loss, passion and lust in a city of romance such as Paris.
"Criminal World" the first single from the debut, was later covered by David Bowie, although the original remains the definitive version.
"Flame" and its "Overture" are highlight tracks that would be appreciated across many genres of listeners. After recording a follow-up (New
