Sunscreem - Love you More (1991)

Sunscreem is a techno/house band from Essex, England, who scored a number of hits on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century. Sunscreem also has the rare reputation as a techno-based band that successfully performs concerts. Over a ten-year period, 12 of their singles made an entry to the UK Singles Chart.
The nucleus of the group is lead vocalist/keyboardist Lucia Holm and fellow keyboardist Paul Carnell. The group has also, at times, included Darren Woodford, Rob Fricker, Sean Wright, Nick Slingsby (aka "Bongo Ted") and DJ Dave Valentine.


Sunscreem released a 12" promo of "Love U More" on the Sony Soho Square record label in 1991, a song which went on to spend two weeks at #1 on the U.S. Dance chart in March 1993. They had club hits in the UK with the singles "Walk On" and "Pressure" (also on Sony Soho Square) before releasing their successful first album O3 on multiple labels in 1993. Other singles from O3 included "Perfect Motion" and a cover of the Marianne Faithfull record "Broken English".

"Love U More" was one of the first techno songs to hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Top 40, climbing to #36 (to date it is their only Hot 100 entry). It has subsequently been covered (usually in a bowdlerised form, omitting the climactic reference to rape and toning down other images in the lyrics) by other artists including Paul Elstak, LMP, Rollergirl and Steps.
