Not the current Scottish pop band but the early eighties synth duo from York. One of band (Peter) was in the shop today and we chatted about the indie labels of that time. CO were signed to Small Wonder and Peel played them a fair bit. I asked him what his favourite memory of the time was and he said it was showing Kate Bush how a Fairlight CMI keyboard worked, she invited him out for a lavish dinner for the album launch party of Hounds of Love as thanks.
I vaguely recall this, bit of it's time but still has charm.

Cool story.
Yeah I've definitely heard them on some of the Peel shows I've been downloading.
Judging by that tune they were not uninfluential.
