Steve Howe (musician) release, Howe left the group in 1983 citing irreconcilable differences with Wetton. Following his departure, Howe performed an acoustic guitar solo on "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" on the 1984 same titled album by the pop group Frankie Goes to Hollywood that Horn produced. He also played on "Industry Standard" (1982) by The Dregs. In 1985, Howe formed another supergroup, GTR, named after an abbreviation of the word "guitar", with guitarist Steve Hackett. The idea came from Howe's manager and former Yes and Asia manager Brian Lane, who brought the two together as both wished to perform in a band after
From Genesis to Revelation worked, and the group began to write at a faster pace. The band recruited fellow Charterhouse pupil John Silver on the drums, and wrote and rehearsed their new material at his parents' country home in Oxford and the parents of school friend David Thomas. In August 1968, during the school summer holidays, the band returned to Regent Sound studio 2 to record "From Genesis to Revelation". The music was recorded within two days, and the album was put together in ten. King was the producer and brought in former Charterhouse pupil Tom Allom, along with Brian Roberts, as recording engineers.
