New Atlantic were signed to Liverpool's 3-Beat Records, which in turn signed the track to Pete Waterman's PWL Records, leading to chart success. Their appearance on Top of the Pops achieved a certain degree of notoriety, with the worst vocal performance in the show's history leading the The Sun newspaper having a competition "to find New Atlantic a singer". Despite this, "I Know" remains a rave anthem, which appears on the vast majority of compilation albums celebrating the era. New Atlantic also produced Berri's Top 5 UK hit, a dance cover of Elkie Brooks', "Sunshine after the Rain"; and released a number of other records and an album before fading into obscurity. Saunders is now part of the DJ production duo, The Young Punx.
