[edit] Musical career
"Seven Days and One Week" (1996) was a top ten hit in more than ten countries worldwide, reaching number three in the United Kingdom,[1] and in Germany. The song was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 200,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[2]
They had two Top 5 hits in the UK: "Seven Days and One Week" and "Flash". They followed these up with two Top 20 hits: "Desire" and "Deeper Love (Symphonic Paradise)"; and an 1998 album entitled Games.[1]
Later in the band's short career, the trio would move into more ethereal trance productions.
Emmanuel Top managed a record label called Attack Records from 1993 to 2003, and produced many dance hits. More recently, he managed a dance club in Belgium.
