experimental music project and teamed up with Duncan Bridgeman,
( now part of the duo, '1 Giant Leap'). Johnson eventually
signed to Island Record's subsidiary, Interdisc and Warner Bros Music.
GBM
released three singles, 'Strange News', 'Diction and Fiction', and 'Whistling
in the Dark', and an Album, ' Method in the Madness ',
to much critical acclaim.
Duncan Bridgeman left GBM in 1984 to pursue various music
/ production work, and JJ continued GBM in intermittent, unconventional
forms, as well as other music, film, and online projects through the 90's
And into the present
