Sub Sub put out "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)" on 29 March 1993 as a standalone single on the independent Rob's Records, and it turned out to be the biggest thing the British dance act ever did. Melanie Williams of Temper Temper sings it and shares the writing credit with Jimi Goodwin and the twins Andy and Jez Williams. In the video Goodwin plays bass, Jez keyboards and percussion, Andy a keytar.
It climbed to number three in the UK and topped the dance chart, one of a wave of 1993 club records that crashed the pop mainstream, and it later landed on the debut album Full Fathom Five in 1994. Nothing after it came close. When a fire gutted their Ancoats studio in 1996, the band regrouped and returned in 1998 as Doves, sounding like a different group entirely.
