There was a Hula comp on Red Rhino, which folded ages ago. "Poison" (produced by Daniel Miller!) was on it.

Hey, it's great pop-house and good for what it is, considering the time. And pretty remarkable considering its immediate predecessor was "Code". I was totally zonked the first time I heard it and remember double-checking the tape to make sure it was indeed the Cabs. Clear Marshall Jefferson etc. influence. Ashok
