The cover of "Foundation", released in 1986. This was the band's only album.

They released one studio album, titled Foundation, in 1986.[2] It produced one hit song, "Planets in Motion", which was played in heavy rotation on American radio at the time, and was briefly a popular wedding song in the late 1980s. Some of their pieces appeared on MTV, but the band never toured.[1][3]

The album was released in the UK in 1987.[4]
