Their style evolved during the years 1980 passing from an icy and radical cold wave to more danceable sound with stressed rhythmics and exclusively synthetic melodies , sustained by an ironical dadaist visual . They regularly collaborated with members of Belgian band Front 242 , have worked with English producer Colin Newman from Wire and have written and composed on two Front 242 albums in 1994 . They have often toured in various countries from Europe and have been an inspiration to many bands. They took a brief hiatus in the late 1990's.
