Boy George in Internet
| From March 1990 to April 1991, George presented a weekly chat and music show on the Power Station satellite channel called Blue Radio.<br />In 1992, George had a hit with the song The Crying Game (produced by the Pet Shop Boys), which was featured in the movie of the same name, and reached the top-twenty of the US Hot 100.<br />Although he had had several solo hits in the UK, this would be his first and only big US hit since the Culture Club song Move Away reached the Top 20 in America in 1986.<br />George made many recordings between 1990 and 1994, but none were issued.<br />A pop and world music-oriented album was scheduled for release by Jesus Loves You in 1992, named Popularity Breeds Contempt, but never came out.<br />Only three tracks with their respective remixed versions survived, ending up on the Sweet Toxic Love EP, released in the last year of the 1990 year (which only reached #65 in the UK Chart).<br />The album (the tentative title of which, Popularity Breeds Contempt, also survived as opening line spoken at the beginning of the 1993 collection called At Worst: The Best of Boy George and Culture Club) was shelved, as it were, in favour of the recent growing interest in rock for George.<br />He released a rock-driven Cheapness and Beauty in 1995, but the album was not successful, although Same Thing in Reverse did become a minor US hit.<br />A follow-up to Cheapness And Beauty, tentatively named Too Spooky was recorded in spring 1996, but it was shelved.<br />Some of the tracks from those sessions appeared later on The Unrecoupable One Man Bandit Volume One, which was at first sold on the internet only and then distributed by several minor labels.<br />Another project from the time was a new group that would include Boy George and two long-time musicians, John Themis and Richie Stevens.<br />Initially named Shallow, it was later re-named Dubversive.<br />The project took place in 1997 and was to include trip-hop, dub and reggae.<br />The project was shelved, this time due to a lack of interest by record companies because of the group's lack of commercial appeal.<br />Some songs from those sessions surfaced later on the 2002 Culture Club Box set and some others appeared on eBay in 2004.
