G. B. M. (Gardening by Moonlight)In early 1982, J.J. and DUNCAN BRIDGEMAN decided to dedicate more time to the G.B.M. project. J.J. wanted to express more through lyrics / song / production, as well as different rythymic influences to the ones that had been used in dance music at that time; some songs, later recorded on the G.B.M. L.P. & singles, having a gaelic rhythmic / melodic lilt, and others, having a more hybrid rhythmic / melodic direction, an attempt at reinventing song and dance music, with a very personalised and British / local, influence and identity, mixed with various extremes of electronics, F.X. and synths. With the emphasis being on, "FEEL". The
duo then, started demo-recording an albums worth of songs, J.J. taking
on lyrics, lead & backing vocals, drums & percussion, composition and
co- production, and Duncan on keyboards, co-composition and co-production.
The recording and writing process took about a year, in between other
commitments, and numerous approaches to record companies. Then eventually,
after complex negotiations, J.J. signed to, INTERDISC RECORDS, which was
part of the ISLAND RECORDS label.
