In 1974, during the recording of "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", Collins played drums on Brian Eno's second album "Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)" after Eno had contributed electronic effects known as "Enossification" on "In the Cage" and "Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging".

The band, known by December 2012 as Sound of Contact, included Collins on lead vocals and drums, Kerzner on keyboards, Dorsey on bass, and Nordstrom
