Earth climbed into the UK Top 10. Three years later "Falcon" (1980) hit the Top
40 and started a long string of dance hits for the band. Another track, "Clouds
Across The Moon" (1985), with vocals by his wife Liz Hewson, gave him a second
Top 10 single in the UK. Over the years the band have chalked up seven UK hits
and have had records on a myriad of labels including DJM Records, KR, TMT
Records, S.O.U.N.D. Recordings, RCA, Supreme Records. Hewson, who in the 1980s
