Leli qembu maphakathi nawo-1990 ekhulwini elidlule "laqhumisa" wonke amashadi neziqongo zeziteshi zomsakazo. Mhlawumbe akekho ongeke aqonde ukuthi baqonde liphi iqembu uma bethi Ready To Go. Ithimba leRepublica lasheshe laduma futhi lanyamalala ngokushesha ezindaweni eziphakeme ze-Olympus yomculo. Ngeke kushiwo ukuthi leli yiqembu lokuqanjwa okukodwa, kodwa, ngeshwa, awasekho amathrekhi aphumelelayo.
Ukudalwa kweqembu leRiphabhulikhi
Ngo-1994, bekhathele ukuhlola njalo nokushintsha amabhendi, umculi wekhibhodi onekhono u-Tim Dorney kanye nozakwabo u-Andy Todd bakha ibhendi.
Ihlanganisa konke ukunyakaza okudumile yangaleso sikhathi, ukunyakaza komdanso we-elekthronikhi okudumile kanye nefa "labaphikisi" abadumile kanye nama-anarchists Sex Pistols, abafana basungula isiqondiso esisha nesixubile - i-techno-pop-punk-rock.
U-Tim Dorney (owayekade eyi-Flowerd Up) kanye no-Andy Todd (owayengumdidiyeli we-Bjork no-Barbra Streisand) baqonda ababekufuna eqenjini elisha. Kodwa-ke, konke kumile ekukhethweni komculi. Ngemva kokufuna isikhathi eside kanye nokuhlolwa okungaphumelelanga, bakwazi ukuthola idayimane langempela - uSamantha Sprakling (Saffran).
Ubuhle, obubukeka bubonisa izimpande zasempumalanga, wayenomlando ocebile wokudala ngesikhathi ehlangana nabasunguli beqembu. Ongowokuzalwa eNigeria, ukwazile ukusebenzisana neqembu i-N-Joi nethi The Shamen.
Uphinde waba nenkanyezi kumavidiyo amabhendi amaningana adumile, waba ngumbhali wezingoma ezithi One Love (1992) kanye nengoma ethi Circles (1993). Umzwilili uchithe isikhathi eside edlala indima enkulu kumculo odumile i-Starlight Express.
Ngemuva kokuqala kokuzilolonga, ibhendi yaqala ukwenza isitatimende esibucayi ngabo esiteji esikhulu. Ngalesi sikhathi, uJohnny Mail wajoyina iqembu, owathatha indima yesigingci kanye noDavid Barbarossa, owaba ngumshayi wesigubhu wesikhathi esigcwele weqembu.
Ngemva kwesikhathi esinenkani nesinzima sokulutheka, izingxabano nokungavumelani, ingoma yokuqala yeqembu ethi Out of this World (1994) yakhululwa. Ingoma elandelayo ethi Bloke yakhululwa ngo-1995. Ibhendi yabe isiqala ukuzilolonga emaqenjini angaphansi komhlaba aseBrithani nasezindaweni zokudansa.
Ukunyuka kokuduma
Naphezu kwayo yonke imizamo kanye nebutho elikhula kancane kancane labalandeli, leli qembu alizange lithole impumelelo yangempela. Impumelelo yafika entwasahlobo ka-1996. Ngemuva kwalokho ibhendi yakhipha enye ingoma yesitudiyo ethi Ready To Go.
Ukuqanjwa kwaso kwathatha isikhundla se-13 seshadi likazwelonke laseBrithani, kwaba uphawu lwangempela lweqembu elincane, ngenxa yokuthi wathola ukuthandwa okwase kuyisikhathi eside elindelwe kokubili ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe.
Ngawo lowo nyaka, kwakhululwa i-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu elithi Republica. U-PH uphume ngenxa yelebula yomculo i-Deconstruction Records. Izingoma ezimbalwa zediski zashintsha ngokushesha eziteshini zomsakazo zasendaweni. Lokhu kwenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukufinyelela endaweni yesi-4 eshadini likazwelonke ekupheleni konyaka. Enye impumelelo ingabhekwa njengesikhundla ku-Billboard Top 200 elandelanayo yamathrendi amasha. Lokhu kwandisa intshisekelo yabathandi bomculo eqenjini.
Umsindo ongavamile weqembu ugqame kakhulu ngokumelene nesizinda samaqembu amaningi anamazwi abesifazane. U-Saffran ngo-1997 wathola isipho kubaholi belinye iqembu i-Prodigy sokuqopha iculo le-albhamu entsha ethi The Fat of the Land. Yavela kanje ingoma ethi Fuel My Fire, eyayaziwa ongoti abaningi ngomsebenzi waleli qembu. Ngokuzayo, amaqembu amaningana adumile ameme umculi ukuthi aqophe izingoma ezihlangene.
Umsebenzi wesibili we-studio we-Speed Ballads wakhululwa ekwindla ka-1998. I-disc ikhombisa ushintsho olubonakalayo emsindweni webhendi. Inani "labalweli" abanesigqi lehlile. Kodwa akhona amathrekhi ezingoma amaningi aveza ikhono lezwi lomuntu ocula yedwa kanye nobubanzi bokubukwa komculo weqembu lonke. Idiski entsha ayikwazanga ukuphinda impumelelo yezentengiselwano yomsebenzi wokuqala. Kwabe sekuqala inkathi enzima empilweni yeqembu.
Ukuhlukana kanye nesabatha
Ngemva kokukhululwa kwe-Speed Ballads, u-Andy Todd washiya iqembu, okubangelwa ukungaboni ngaso linye kwangaphakathi phakathi kwabaculi. Ngemva kwalokhu, ilebula iqembu eliqopha kuyo izingoma yashabalala. Futhi lokhu kwaba ukwehla kokugcina kokubekezela kwabahlanganyeli bayo. Ithimba limemezele ikhefu lokudala, ngenkathi ligcizelela ukuthi akukho ukukhuluma ngokuhlukana.
Ngo-2002, iBMG yakhipha iqoqo lezingoma zaleli qembu kodwa lo mculi ocula yedwa waphikisana nerekhodi, echazela izintatheli ukuthi akekho owabuza imibono yabaculi nokuvuma kwabo ukuthi bakhiphe irekhodi. Ngamaholide, iSaffran ikwazile ukusebenza namaqembu afana neThe Cure neJunkie XL.
Leli qembu liphinde lenziwa ngamandla aphelele kuphela ngo-2008, emcimbini we-Contra Medium, owawuse-Windsor. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi kwamenyezelwa mayelana nokuhlangana kanye nokuqala umsebenzi ezintweni ezintsha, umphumela wokuzilolonga kwaba eyodwa kuphela by Christiana Obey, eyakhululwa ngo-2013. Yayingasekho imisebenzi yesitudiyo evela eqenjini. Abaculi bavele kumakhonsathi nasemafestivelini emhlabeni jikelele kuphela.
