about

In 1989 James Ray moved from his previous incarnation in James Ray and The Performance to a new project, bringing the heavy goth-influenced rhythms of his previous work to a new trance/dance oriented sound. Already established on the Merciful Release label, James Ray had sung on Andrew Eldritch’s side-project Sisterhood album Gift, a collaboration that added to his reputation. With Karl Harrison of The Performance he released the compilation album A New Kind of Assassin in 1989, characterised by driving rhythms and vistas of sound, overlaid with Ray’s heavy, mesmerising vocals.
