It was summer 1982 when Luc Van Acker wrote the first songs The fear in my heart and Jump and shout . They were originally released as a 12 inch and became quite succesful on a cult level. As a result he even won a press prize as Best New Artist.

His first solo album was Taking Snapshots. This album was recorded in his home in Tienen (Belgium) and he distributed it by driving around Europe with several hundred copies in his car, begging record stores to buy as many as possible.
This was followed by the mini-album Zas Buddhist. It was at this time he decided to become more professional and he signed a record deal. While touring as a member of the Belgian band Arbeid Adelt in autumn 1982 he did some production work (in between shows) for an Anna Domino album (East/West). It was then that he was introduced to Blaine Reininger of Tuxedo Moon (USA) who played violin on three tracks. Anna Domino and Luc co-wrote four songs which seem to have the magic touch that makes a song a hit.

He met Dave Allen after a Shriekback (UK) concert at Plan K in Brussels. He played him some of his music and ended playing guitar on Shriekback's album Jam Science. Together they started what was to be a dance studio project called Noise Abroad. As on most other tracks on that album they got a lot of help from Brian Nevill (Pig Bag - UK) who played drums, piano and sax. Also Ian Caple engineered most of it and was responsible for the amazing string arrangements on Heart And Soul. Dave supplied the solid bass lines and convinced David Rhodes (Peter Gabriel Band) it was an international career move to play guitar on a Belgium record.

For the finishing touch his good friend Jean-Marie Aerts (TC Matic - Belgium) came along to record some overdubs and give the mixes the production they needed. Kevin Mulligan (Talk Back - UK) wandered in from the studio next door and played rhythm guitar on Zanna. Gaby Lang supplied some exotic backing vocals on The Ship and Heart and Soul while her manager Rose looked through a porno magazine and gave us a discount.

After the release of The Ship he put a live band together and did 56 concerts in Europe.

At the D.N.A. club in Brussels he met Richard 23 from Front 242 (Belgium) who put him on the phone with Al Jourgensen of Ministry (USA), which resulted in his being on a plane to Chicago. Having lost all sense of reality he discovered he had become a member of The Revolting Cocks.

He toured The States for a couple of years with The Cocks and Ministry and ran into Dave Allen again in Los Angeles. Together they set up World Domination Records and Luc's own career got back on its feet.
