He also played in Empty Quarter with Martin "Youth" Glover from Killing Joke . After these, primarily guitar-based bands, he formed The Flowerpot Men (no relation to The Flower Pot Men , a British psychedelic-era band) together with Adam Peters , and recorded some songs which would follow the pattern of what would soon be called Techno Music .
