Rathke also produces their album "Hand Some", on which Lou Reed also sings on one song. On the album, the guitars are being played by Tjenne Berghmans (Clouseau), due to a fatal illness of their original guitarist Pieter De Cort. He dies of cancer in 1994.

The album "Dreamers & Lovers" was recorded in the bands own homestudio, with only a brass-section with Bart Maris coming to the aid of the band. "Dreamers & Lovers" got an international release in the Fall of 2000.
