In December 1994, they released their first album, entitled Freedom. It reached number 5 in the UK Indie Chart. Freedom stayed on that Top 20 list for fourteen weeks. In January 1996, QFX covered the Moby track, "Everytime You Touch Me", which propelled QFX into the UK Singles Chart at number 22.[1] This led to an appearance on BBC Television's Top of the Pops. In July 1996, the band released "You Got The Power", which reached #33 in the same UK chart.[1] QFX also remixed songs for other musicians, including Gala with "Freed From Desire".
QFX released five albums and had five UK Top 40 hit singles. They were featured on over 20 compilation albums world wide.
In early 2010, QFX released QFX Greatest Hits, which included all their hits, plus their remixes and featured special guest remixes, producers, and vocalists.[2]
