James is a popular alternative rock band from Manchester, England, formed in 1981. After an uphill struggle throughout the 1980s, they went on to become one of the most consistently successful acts of the 1990s, scoring a string of hit singles throughout the decade including "Sit Down" and "Laid". Following the departure of lead singer Tim Booth in 2001, the band has been inactive, although a split has never been officially confirmed.

These guys were also on 120 Minutes - A LOT in the early 90's. Yet when you go to search for them on www.CDUniverse.com nothing comes up -- you actually have to search for them by song title. And when you finally get there you will see something about.... 20TH Century Masters. Funny how in America you can be labled a 20th Century Master so quickly. I think I figured out the formula.
1. Be a sensation from some other country
2. Get one or two songs on American FM Radio
3. Get that same song included in a film
4. Disappear for 14 years.
5. Wait patiently and BOOM ...
6. Congratulations lad, you're a 20th Century Master.
I remember the clips in the early 90's heyday from the EP "Sit Down". In those clips I also remember seeing screaming fans and a myriad of lights. These were packed houses. The song, "Laid" from the same album also got a lot of airplay and made it into a few film soundtracks.
They may resurface again.
