Musical career

"Seven Days and One Week" (1996) was a top ten hit in more than ten countries worldwide, reaching number three in the United Kingdom,[2] and in Germany. The song was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 200,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[3]

They had two Top 5 hits in the UK: "Seven Days and One Week" and "Flash". They followed these up with two Top 20 hits: "Desire" and "Deeper Love (Symphonic Paradise)"; and a 1998 album entitled Games.[2]

Later in the band's short career, the trio would move into more ethereal trance productions.

Emmanuel Top managed a record label called Attack Records from 1993 to 2003, and produced many dance hits. More recently, he managed a dance club in Belgium. Bruno Sanchioni co produced one of the very first trance recordings, "the Age of Love".

gollark: So my search thing seems to be handling the tens of megabytes of slowly downloading esolangs.org data somewhat well, in that queries which don't have any results in it run fine. On the other hand, I didn't add any pagination and it would be quite hard to given how the search algorithm works, so looking for stuff like "the" is slow. And the search algorithm is terrible at looking up specific phrases.
gollark: Just text, formatting and a little metadata (in some insane XML format) - no images, talk pages, user pages, that sort of thing.
gollark: This is without images and whatnot.
gollark: Wikipedia is "only" 15GB compressed, but the inverted index data structure this uses for search is biiiiig.
gollark: My search engine thing (https://search.osmarks.tk/) is now indexing the entire esolangs.org wiki for some reason!
