They released three albums during the '90s, with their debut Electronic selling over a million copies worldwide. However, the follow-up Raise the Pressure, despite debuting in the UK Top 10, was a commercial flop by comparison. The group's highest charting singles is 1992's Disappointed, which reached #6 in the UK. The band's biggest American hit was 1989's Getting Away With It which reached #38 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Twisted Tenderness was released in 1999 and again hit the UK Top 10. This third and final studio album was co-produced by influential New York club DJ and dance producer Arthur Baker, with whom Sumner had previously worked on New Order's 1983 hit Confusion, amongst other songs. Marr and Sumner remained the only official members of the band, but were joined by Doves Jimi Goodwin on bass and Black Grape drummer Ged Lynch.

In September 2006 the duo's work was compiled on the album Get The Message - The Best Of Electronic.

Getting Away With It
by Electronic

I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse
I've been getting away with it all my life
(Getting away)

However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me

I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you I couldn't care less
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away with it all my life
(Getting away)

However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
More than you love me

I thought I gave up falling in love a long long time ago
I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know
And it's been true all my life
Yes, it's been true all my life

I've been talking to myself just to suggest that I'm selfish (getting ahead)
I've been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed (I should do what he said)

However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
