Later that year the band enter Wokingham based No Machine Studios where three Blyth written tracks: Colours, Doing My Head In, and Baby’s Back; with Clark co-credited for Colours. Engineered by Andy Aust, who’d go on to work on Larry Miller‘s recordings, and Neil Sadler; Safehouse Records, Farnham released Dry Riser’s The Bootleg Kylie E.P.

On 20 January ’96 the band supported Who Moved the Ground? at the West End Centre, Aldershot; and supported WMTG again on 21 March ’96 at The Warehouse, Fleet; along with Skipper. The release of ‘Best Farnborough Groove in the World – Ever!, Vol.6’ came layer in ’96 and carried Dry Riser’s Colours. The band also played at venues in the Camberley area.

The band would later morph into Sonic Blue in ’98/’99. Moorhouse sadly left this world in the late ’90s as a result of sudden adult death syndrome.
