Way back in 1983 two young men by the names of "paul
Barrett" & "Stephen Skipper" formed
a Band of their very own... If my memory serves me
correctly, Stephen came up with the name, a sort of
play-on words...
"Facial arts" into "Fayshalarts"...
clever!
We both had a common interest in the electronic music
of that time,
influenced by the likes of Gary Numan, Depeche Mode,
Kraftwerk, Bill Nelson,
Human League and FadGadget to name but a small few.
So the direction that our music was going to take
was already set, We purchased some instruments and
started making music...
In the beginning (1983-1985) our setup was extremely
basic, the kit list comprising of just a Casio MT20,
Jen SX1000, Siel Mono, Soundmaster SR88 Beat Box,
Realistic 6 Channel mixer, sansui D90 Cassette Deck
and an Akai 4000DS Reel to Reel.
