By the time 1992 rolled around, the "blonde" movement {Darling Buds, Transvision Vamp, Primitives} was all but done and the band's 'Erotica' had drifted into a mellow pop with mainstream guitarwork and a radio-friendly sound, but mainstream success eluded them. "Long Day in the Universe" {1992}, from 'Erotica', was used on the So I Married an Axe Murderer {1993} soundtrack.

There was also a TV show on ITV called "The Darling Buds of May", which ran from 1991-1993. The show was based on novels by H. E. Bates and the band's name was an allusion to them.
