The Assembly
However, the Assembly project never became a full-fledged band and resulted in only one single release, the UK hit "Never Never".[2] The other track on the single, "Stop/Start", was an instrumental, featuring Clarke's signature songwriting style with syncopation that gradually became the downbeat of the musical phrase.[citation needed] Despite the commercial success of the single, the Assembly was no longer a functioning entity by the end of 1984.Sharkey, for his part, began a successful solo career in 1984,[2] and achieved his only UK number one single in 1985 with "A Good Heart".In May 2011, Sharkey appeared on stage during the Erasure set at Mute Records' Short Circuit music festival for a one-off performance of "Never, Never" with Clarke.
