Po przeniesieniu się do Camden w północnym Londynie wspólnicy dołączyli do składu Moirę Lambert z grupy Faith Over Reason. Zadebiutowali nagraną w maju 1990r dla małej wytwórni Heavenly Record wersją „Only Love Can Break Your Heart” Neila Younga, utrzymaną w tanecznych rytmach reggae. Krążek zyskał uznanie w dyskotekach i wkrótce doczekał się remiksu w wykonaniu Flowered Up.
Na kolejnym singlu, „Kiss And Make Up”, z repertuaru Field Mice wystąpiła pozyskana z Dead Famous People nowozelandzka wokalistka Donna Savage. Temat „Nothing Can Stop Us” ukierunkowany był na kontynent, podobnie jak nazwa i stylizowane, na flagę zjednoczonej Europy logo zespołu.
Na pierwszym albumie Foxbase Alpha śpiewała Sarah Cracknell (ur. 12.04.1967r w Chelmsford w hr. Essex, Anglia; poprzednio w Prime Time), której senna wokaliza zdominowała brzmienie płyty.
W latach 90-tych recenzenci zarzucali grupie manipulowanie bieżącą modą, na co Stanley reagował śmiechem i wzruszeniem ramionami. Album So Tough nawiązywał ciekawie do tradycji brytyjskiego popu i potwierdzał stylistyczne, kompetencje muzyków. Longplay Tiger Bay („Western Wind”, instrumentalne „Urban Clearway”) zdobył uznanie krytyków i miłośników folku. Płytę I Love To Paint wydano w nakładzie 500 egzemplarzy rozprowadzanych jedynie wśród członków fanklubu. Z końcem 1993 Sarah Cracknell nagrała w duecie z Timem Burgessem z Charlatans singel „I Was Born On Christmas Day”, który mimo wydania przed Bożym Narodzeniem nie zdobył wielu klientów. W 1995 zapowiedziała nagranie solowego albumu.
