Doing so doesn't change that fact that the releases without their presence haven't been as memorable as those when they were part of the group.

well, technically - there's only been one release without D'Arcy; which is "Untitled", the single for their Greatest Hits package. If memory serves me, Darcy didn't leave until after Machina was done (she even toured live for that album, just before it was released)

I think Zwan & Billy's solo album are so different, that you really can't consider them as the same as what was made when Billy was in "SP Mode"

like, I think Billy overtly tried to make soemthing different with Zwan, and the solo album was much more of an 'electronic' album than anything
