Mark formed the Love Reaction with Jimmy Caunty (KLF; K2). Gimpo joined early on. Mark has a child from Gimpo's half-sister Sandra. Gimpo was made the manager at one point, not a good move.
Zodiac Mindwarp named after a 60s underground adult comic. Love Reaction allegedly from a Bruce Springsteen song 'Dancing in the Dark' "I need a love reaction".
Before becoming Zodiac Mindwarp, Mark Manning did cartoon strips for Record Mirror, then art director for
Flexipop! magazine and once had a cartoon published in the Independent. He likes to be known as Zed.

Apparently Bill Drummond has provided artwork for display in The Foundry, Great Eastern Street and Old Street,
which boasts Gimpo as it's landlord.
