Imagination
With the single "Just an Illusion", the British group achieved high chart positions across Europe in the early 1980s and became one of the best-known representatives of the British soul and funk sound of that era. The band shaped the club scene with catchy melodies and danceable grooves, which were present both on the radio and in nightclubs. Collaboration with producers Steve Jolley and Tony Swain played a significant role in the group's distinctive style.
