Fiat Lux

Fiat Lux were a new wave/synthpop band from Wakefield, Yorkshire. Formed in 1982, the band consisted of Steve Wright (vocals, percussion) and David Crickmore (guitars, bass, keyboards). Ian Nelson (saxophone, keyboards) joined shortly afterwards. When Crickmore departed in the mid-1980s, the band dissolved soon after. Crickmore and Wright re-formed the band in 2017 without Nelson, who had died in 2006.
Fiat Lux released a slew of singles during their initial 1980s run, two of which charted in the UK; but the band only managed to release a mini-LP (Hired History) during that time,AllMusic with their intended debut album, Ark of Embers, shelved by their label Polydor.Electricity Club
Upon re-forming, the band released an expanded version of Hired History, as well as a belated release of Ark of Embers, 34 years after the album was recorded.
