In 1995, the group re-formed as M Pire. They released one album under this name, "Chapter One", though it was never released in the US. The band then expanded its name, to Joshua Perahia. The addition of Joshua's last name was to avoid confusion as so many bands were using the name Joshua. Perahia states "We went back (from MPire to Joshua) to re-fire... re-ignite what we had before." The band lacked a permanent vocalist and hired Alex Ligertwood of Santana to fill the spot on "Something to Say". However, while in production, the band recruited Jerry Gabriel and re-recorded the vocals. As a result, the album (except four tracks) contains Gabriel's lead vocals, and Ligertwood's vocals are available in the DVD release. One song, "The First and the Last", appeared in the Larry Buchanan–directed movie "The Copper Scroll of Mary Magdalene" in 2004.
