Spirea X was a short-lived dream pop/noise pop act on the 4AD label, spearheaded by ex-Primal Scream member Jim Beattie. The other members of the group were Judith Boyle and Andrew Kerr. In 1991, the group released the Chlorine Dream and Speed Reaction singles, along with the full-length Fireblade Skies. Combining sweet vocal melodies with alternately noisy and blurry bursts of guitars and dance beats, the record was definitely up on the then-current sound of the U.K., but it failed to make much of an impression with consumers and cynical tastemakers. Spirea X vanished without a trace, but Beattie and Boyle -- along with former Spirea X manager Simon Dine -- would later form Adventures in Stereo.

Led by renowned bassist Jah Wobble, Invaders of the Heart specialize in an experimental ethnic fusion of styles. After leaving Public Image Ltd. in the early '80s, Wobble immediately began issuing solo albums (The Legend Lives On, etc.), before releasing albums under the Invaders moniker (which are basically Wobble solo albums with special guests). Several albums have been credited to Invaders of the Heart over the years, the first being Without Judgement, followed by Rising Above Bedlam and The Sun Does Rise, the latter of which included appearances by such artists as Baaba Maal, Dolores O'Riordan, Natasha Atlas, Gavin Friday, Najma Akhtar, and Chaka Demus. Wobble resurrected Invaders of the Heart for 2016's Every Thing Is No Thing, with special guests Tony Allen and Nik Turner.
