Full Moon Scientist was an electronic group consisting of Kevin Walsh (formerly of Boothill Foot Tappers) and Steve Rowlands. The group combined dub, breaks, ambient, sampledelica, and typical British humour. They first caught the attention of Leftfield and were subsequently signed to their Hard Hands imprint. The debut album 'The Men in White Coats', a couple of 12 inches, and a mini album were released on this label, before they moved to Botchit and Scarper with whom they released their follow-up album, 'Do We Look Like Comedians?'.
