History

After leaving Medium Medium, Rees Lewis formed C Cat Trance with original Medium Medium drummer Nigel Kingston Stone.[1] While similar in some respects to Medium Medium, They incorporated World music elements, releasing a self-titled debut mini-LP in 1983 on the Red Flame label.[1][2] Subsequent releases were on the Red Flame sub-label Ink, starting with the "Dreams of Living" 12-inch single. They released one album a year between 1985 and 1987 and another in 1992 before splitting up.

John Rees Lewis later returned to a reformed Medium Medium.

Cherry Red released a collection of the band's best material in 2005.[2]
