Rosetta Stone formed in the mid 1980s around members Porl King (guitar/vocals/keyboards), Carl North (bass) and Porl Young (guitar), plus their drum machine and synthesiser rack nicknamed "Madame Razor". Their early style and first album reflected the jangly-guitar sounds of 1980s gothic rock, and their first big break was supporting The Mission.

In 1992 the band released their most successful single "Adrenaline", an indie dancefloor anthem which marked a change in direction for the band's sound and line-up. Porl Young left to produce Children On Stun whilst Porl King and Carl North remained to take the band into a more industrial sound.
