For the second album, "The madman's return", Thea Austin joined the line-up as a singer/songwriter.

It spent 6 weeks at #1 on the UK singles chart as well #1 on both the Canada and US Dance charts in 1992. Follow-up singles featuring Niki Harris, "Exterminate" and "Do you see the light" made the UK Top 10 in 1993.
