The band's musicians got together in 1991, recorded an album produced by Kulick . It contained nine other songs and a cover version of the song All Night Long written by Ritchie Blackmore and Roger Glover , which Bonnet had released in 1979 with Rainbow on the album Down to Earth . After a promotional tour that took the group mainly to Japan, the band broke up in 1994.
However, in 1994 they had already completed 11 new tracks for a second album, which was no longer released at the time. It would take until 2016 for these recordings to be released under the title Don't Kill The Thrill on the Cherry Red Records label.
