In the summer of 1992 there were lots of acts from the rave scene breaking through to the UK charts. One of the big success stories was Sunscreem who made their Top 40 debut with "Love U More" and also managed to make the America Top 40 with that record.
Unlike many of their peers, they weren't 2 guys behind keyboards, they were a full band. They kept their run of hits going into 1993, a time when rave was making way for eurodance commercially.
At the end of 1995 it had been over 18 months since Sunscreem had a Top 40 hit which was a very long time in rave terms during that era. Their big hit "Love U More" had been covered by Paul Elstak and was a big hit in Holland in 1995 and was being played at all the raves over here.
Sunscreem were onto their 2nd album and lead single "When" failed to reach the Top 40. This was the 2nd single from the album, so the fact it made the Top 40 means it may be seen as a success.
As far as singles go this and it's predecessor are the most similar to their earlier tunes. That is perhaps why they did not succeed, people were not ready to go back to 1995. Their following 2 singles "White Skies" and "Secrets" were more guitar driven and fared better in the charts.
