However, it was as a constant member of Nottingham's A Band that he met several future collaborators and first came to the attention of the international underground with an album ""Artex/A Lot"" being issued on Siltbreeze in the US. One reason for the A Band's growth in numbers is that, for each of their performances, he refused to appear onstage unless there was a new member. In 2007 Campbell was again involved in the revived A Band's recording and live activities.
