Pat Kane continued to work with Niles sporadically on many live concerts for BBC Radio 2 with Niles' own band Bandzilla and the BBC Big Band. This produced the album "Showtime!" and the single "Just Say You Love Me". Hue and Cry had a brief chart revival in 1993 with the release of the Circa compilation album "Labours of Love - The Best of Hue and Cry" (UK No.27), which included a Joey Negro remix of "Labour of Love" (UK No.25).ฤก994 saw a successful collaboration with master jazz arranger and composer, Richard Niles.
"Truth & Love" (1992) was released on the brothers' own short-lived label, Fidelity. The 1991 album "Stars Crash Down" pushed the boundaries of the pop genre, embracing folk, country, Latin and quartet jazz. In the 1990s the brothers embarked upon a period of musical experimentation. "Remote" was re-released in 1989 as a double album, including "The Bitter Suite", a live recording. 42, despite an appearance on TV's "What's That Noise?" with Craig Charles. Although "Ordinary Angel" was released during the group's chart spell, it only managed No. 21 - both from their second album "Remote" (1988, UK No.10). Other UK Top 40 hits included "Looking for Linda" (1989, UK No.15) and "Violently (Your Words Hit Me)", an EP that reached No. Their second single and, to date, biggest hit was " Labour of Love" (1987, UK No.6), from the debut album "Seduced and Abandoned" (1987, UK No.22). Their debut single for Circa, "I Refuse", reached number 85 in the UK Singles Chart.
Around the same time, the Kane brothers contributed a track ('Dangerous Wreck') to a compilation cassette entitled " Honey at the Core" which featured then up-and-coming Glasgow bands, including Wet Wet Wet and Deacon Blue. While not a chart hit, it attracted the interest of Virgin Records' subsidiary Circa who signed the duo in 1986. Their first single "Here Comes Everybody" was released on a small Glasgow-based independent label, Stampede.
