From 1992 to 1999 the band released two full-length albums, one E.P. and two 12 inch records. George disbanded the band to work on solo projects.

In 1995 George Sarah as T.H.C. signed with Fifth Colvmn records and released Death By Design in January 1996. The album consisted of hard techno and ambient electronic music. Half the album was co-produced by Q A.K.A. Uberzone. Later that year an EP was released titled 'Consenting Guinea Pig'. In 1996 George Sarah toured the eastern USA on a three-week tour to perform both releases. In September of that year as T.H.C.

Later that year T.H.C. performed a two-week residency in Paris, France accompanied by a string trio (cello, viola, violin) which had become the live presentation of the band.

In 1999, the band released one full-length album together called Adagio. It consisted of a somber beauty of melancholic charged electronica.
