After the departure of Gish (who would later join Bark Psychosis) the three-piece Disco Inferno recorded the single 'Entertainment' with producer Charlie McIntosh. Their first album, Open Doors, Closed Windows, was released in 1991 on Che and received positive reviews, although most mentioned the heavy influence of late 1970s post punk bands, particularly Joy Division and Wire (In fact Disco Inferno's manager, Michael Collins, had previously managed Wire during their 70's incarnation). Bark Psychosis are a band from Waltham Forest in East London. ...

In 1992 the band released 'Summer's Last Sound', widely regarded as the first in a run of classic Disco Inferno EPs which saw the band's increasing use of samples. In music, sampling is the act of taking a portion of one sound recording, the sample, and reusing it as an instrument or element of a new recording. ...
The band's use of sampling combined with traditional instruments - particularly Wilmott's bass - continued on the EPs 'A Rock To Cling To' and 'The Last Dance' and reached it's peak on their second album D.I. Go Pop. D.I. Go Pop was released in 1994 on Rough Trade Records in the UK and Bar/None Records in the United States. ...
The melody on the album's 8 tracks is often carried by the bassline, while an imaginative array of samples (including running water, breaking glass, car crashes, fax machines) builds dense aural collages. Unlike many of the post rock bands Disco Inferno were labelled alongside, the music on D.I. Go Pop was harsh and concise, with Crause's vocals (often buried in the mix) concerning frustration rather than bliss. Post-rock is a music genre characterized by nontraditional use of instruments and high musical density. ...

After the full-on assault of D.I. Go Pop the band opted for restraint on the beautiful 'Second Language' EP which also had a new-found optimism in Crause's lyrics. D.I. Go Pop was released in 1994 on Rough Trade Records in the UK and Bar/None Records in the United States. ...

Their final single, 'It's A Kid's World', sampled the distinctive drumbeat from Iggy Pop's Lust for Life and added in a series of old children's TV themes to good effect, but despite critical acclaim the band attracted little commercial success and split before their final album, Technicolour was released in 1996.

After the split, Ian Crause formed Floorshow who recorded some material for an unreleased album which was to be called 'The Vertical Axis'. Some of these songs later appeared on his solo singles 'Elemental' and 'Head Over Heels' which featured drummer Ritchie Thomas (Dif Juz, Jesus And Mary Chain).
