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
