Beat Noir 
United Kingdom Fingerprintz
Buy album United States
3 albums & all are worth finding. "You left the needle on my favorite track.." (Changing - one of my all time fav songs). Don't bother with the 'greatest hits' as it does not even have "Yes Eyes."

"You can't swim there, you can only drown." Creepy like no other. Hard to find a decent release, as they re-formed & the group was never as good.
