Based on the platinum success of Doubt, Jesus Jones leader guitarist/vocalist Mike Edwards decided it was his mission to make echno palatable for the pop masses and recorded their follow-up album, 1993s Perverse, almost entirely on computer. The result was neither good pop music nor good echno; Jesus Jones subsequent fall from the top of the U.S. and U.K. charts was as fast as their rise to the top. After a long layoff, they returned in the summer of 1997 with Already. Initially, the album was only released in the U.K.; it was released in the U.S. during the spring of 1998. Three years later, Jesus Jones returned to form. With new members Alan Doughty (bass) and Tony Arthy (drums), Jesus Jones inked a deal with Koch and issued London in fall 2001.
