about

"...a distinctive fusion of solid rhythm and engagingly idiosyncratic guitar work. In a word: Excitement." -Gair Rhydd, Feb. 1986

Lauded by the persnickety UK press, this 1985 EP release set things in motion for The Prime Movers. The single "On The Trail" was picked up by BBC Radio One, who played it as if it were a number one single, going head to head with Madonna for the number one spot. Demand to see the band in the UK was such that a hastily arranged press tour was soon followed by a British tour as support act for Big Country. “Strong As I Am,” was selected by film-maker Michael Mann to be the featured song in his movie, “Manhunter” (the prequel to “Silence Of The Lambs”). Michael Mann liked "Strong As I Am" so much that he personally financed the making of the song's music video.
