Dez & Berg' finally decided to split company from the "Quiet Lad" and found the time to recruit a new guitarist.
Michael Kempton Campbell was an obvious choice from the outset. Highly influenced by the bizarre maestro himself...
- Julian Cope - Campbell's own bizarre and surreal sense of humour appealed instantly to Dez & Berg'.
Immediatly his striking "new wave" influenced guitar style opened up an exciting realm of exploration for the groups' now definate change in musical direction.
"Unoccupied Europe" was dropped, and the new line-up became known as "East of Eden."
The live music scene had been very healthy in the late 70's and early 80's, due in no small measure to the wealth of extremely innovative new groups that were appearing during this period, such as "Echo & the Bunnymen" and the "Teardrop Explodes."

However, the publics' appetite for new local acts was beginning to fade, and this proved to be one of only a few live appearances for Campbell, he was replaced shortly after by studio session player - Ralph Morris.
