INTRODUCTION :





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.
