By the early 90s, the group had just released their most successful album, the commercial \u003cem\u003eHeaven or Las Vegas\u003c\/em\u003e, after which they moved to Mercury imprint Fontana, joining the likes of The Fall and the House Of Love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough not intended so at the time, \u003cem\u003eMilk and Kisses\u003c\/em\u003e – released in March 1996 – became the final album issued by the group.
