Opus III had a few hit songs in the early-'90s
ambient house scene before lead vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw embarked on a
successful venture later on in the decade as a freelance vocalist,
working with some of dance music's most successful artists. The group's
debut album for Atlantic, Mind Fruit (1992), featured the popular songs
"It's a Fine Day" and "I Talk to the Wind." The group attained notoriety
for merging ethereal female vocals with the ambient house sound
synonymous with similar popular groups from the era like the Orb and
Enigma. Also in 1992, while Opus III was experiencing their peak
popularity, Hawkshaw worked with Orbital on their second album, the
landmark Orbital 2. Opus III returned in 1994 with the follow-up album
Guru Mother, which was a disappointment relative to the group's
promising debut album, though it did feature the single "When You Made
the Mountain." With the group's future put on hiatus, Hawkshaw returned
to session work during the late '90s, working with producers like BT,
Delerium, the Silent Poets, DJ Tiesto, and again with Orbital.
