Under Influence, released by Arista Records on June 1, 1979, is the only album of new wave band Zones, an offshoot of Midge Ure’s pre-Rich Kids Scottish pop outfit, Slik. The album is described in Trouser Press as the band "try a little of everything ... without any forceful, unifying personality". Although the album has the new wave sound, it was unsuccessful at the time of its release. Shortly afterwards, Zones released a 7" single called "Mourning Star", whose eponymous song (a shorter version of the album song) was backed with "Under Influence", which did not appear on the album, despite the name being the same. At the end of 1979, and after years of failures, the group split up.
