Their choice of collaborators — among them Neneh Cherry’s husband and producer, Cameron McVey — hinted at the savviness they would show in later hook-ups; not least when their single Freak Like Me (on which they took up squatters’ rights in Gary Numan’s Are Friends Electric?) became their first No 1 in 2002..."
