In 1985, the group's focus steered by a shifting music scene, brought about a stylistic change in musical direction with the release of "Sense of Purpose". The single was released as a 7" edit and 12" extended version and later was reissued as a Shep Pettibone club remix. Whilst the single was popular, it only made the lower ends of the UK charts. The 12" extended version was released with an instrumental plus the full length version of their 1983 cross-over hit 'Lagos Jump' which almost certainly boosted the sales of 'Sense of Purpose'.
