: Unlike the extended, atmospheric 6-minute 12" club version, the 7" version (clocking in at around 3:10) is a punchy, direct burst of driving synth energy.
: Founded by young engineering students including Frank Van Bogaert , the band took its name from the unit of electrical resistance (Ohm).
: The original 7" vinyl was released on ACE Records (Belgium) with the catalog number ST 810.
: The classic lineup consisted of schoolmates Frank Van Bogaert (vocals/keyboards), Johan Van Herck (keyboards), Koen Van Assche (drums), and Erwin Vermeulen (bass).
