In the years immediately following the band's dissolution, Simonds worked with
Thin Lizzy,
Jade Warrior, and
Mike Oldfield. Boylan played with
Gary Moore, while Murray, who had previously worked with
Kevin Ayers (
Whatevershebringswesing, 1971), contributed to albums by

Whistling Jigs To The Moon. In 1991, the
Swaddling Songs track "Silversong" was covered (as "Silver Song") by
All About Eve as a
B-side to some versions of their single "
Farewell Mr. Sorrow". 1996 saw the release of
The Virgin Prophet, a collection of previously unreleased material by the band, including demos of many of the songs on
Swaddling Songs. Some of these sessions featured
Richard Coughlan of
Caravan on drums, although his sessions do not feature on the album. In 1999, Simonds recorded a version of
Syd Barrett's setting of the
James Joyce poem "Golden Hair" for
