The band consisted of David Baker and Simon Leonard.[2] BackgroundBaker and Leonard had met at Middlesex University; both had an affection for pop music.[3] In 1982, they began to DJ together which led them to form the I Start Counting project. Leonard specialized in the technology side and Baker was biased toward the musical side of the project.[3] They approached Daniel Miller with some demos of their recorded material. These demos led to Mute Records signing the duo in 1984.[3] Initially they recorded two singles for Mute titled "Letters to a Friend" and "Still Smiling"; both singles were produced by Daniel Miller.[4] Then in 1986, I Start Counting recorded their debut album titled My Translucent Hands. The album was produced by Paul Kendall.[5] In 1987, they supported Erasure on their European tour.[3] In 1990, they recorded some new material, but realized that it sounded quite different to their previous electropop recordings.[3] This new style of dance/techno was released under the name Fortran 5;[3] the band would later change their name again to cater for the Kraftwerk-influenced project known as Komputer.
