Kerrie Cox was added to the line-up as a second singer.The band created a large fan base in Bristol in the early 1980s, and were popular in Germany. While on tour in Germany, they were spotted at a gig in Frankfurt's nightclub, Cookies, by Ralph Ruppert, a record producer and chief sound engineer for Frank Farian, and were signed to his record label. During 1984 Snow left, and the band went through a phaze of using several singers. In 1985, Welsh singer Judith Owen, recorded with them. At this time they were featured on Farian's charity record, with a cover of Paul Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion". This was issued under the name Farian Corporation, which later got shorten to Far Corporation. The record reached the Top 10 in several European countries.
