The Grid were a duo comprising Dave Ball, ex of Soft Cell and Richard Norris, who later went on to make some brilliant records with Erol Alkan as Beyond The Wizards Sleeve and subsequently as the sole member of The Time And Space Machine.
"Floatation" was The Grid's first single proper, released after a pair of hard to find DJ promo releases. Although they went on to much greater success commercially, I'm not sure the act ever did better than this single artistically.
Andrew Weatherall has a big hand in this as well, and I'm guessing he's the one responsible for the Stone Roses sample at the end of the Sonic Swing Mix.
Dave Ball continues to work, currently recording as part of the promising Celine And Nite Wreckage.
