After Duran Duran's third album SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER, the members of the band split into two projects. One of these was the band Arcadia, which maintained the melodic and atmospheric aspects of Duran Duran's previous recordings. The other was THE POWER STATION, in which John and Andy Taylor worked with Palmer, Thompson, and Edwards to create a rhythmic harder rock sound. The participation of their idols from Chic lent the project a horn-inflected funk vibe that meshed surprisingly well with the crunching guitars and booming drums. Soon the project evolved into the idea of a revolving supergourp; a tentative name for the band was Big Brother. The original plan for the one-album project was for the three musicians (Taylor, Taylor and Thompson) to provide musical continuity to an album full of material, with a different singer performing on each track. The group then invited Robert Palmer to record vocals for the track COMMUNICATION. When he heard that they had recorded demos for GET IT ON, he asked to try out vocals on that song as well. Before long, they had decided to record the entire album with Palmer. The group's unexpected success led to two incompatible results: the band decided to do a summer tour in America, and Robert Palmer decided to record a solo album to take advantage of his sudden name recognition. This led to Palmer's departure from the band. The Power Station went on to tour with singer/actor Michael Des Barres. Des Barres' friendship with actor Don Johnson led to the band's guest appearance on an episode of the TV drama Miami Vice. Similarly, his friendship with producer Joel Silver led to Power Station writing a song called WE FIGHT FOR LOVE for the action film Commando (1985). The track was originally titled SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW, SOMEONE'S GOTTA PAY

SOME LIKE IT HOT
It was the first single released from the album. Released in February 1985, the song features heavy drum beats from Tony Thompson and vocals from Robert Palmer. It was the band's biggest hit, peaking at number six on the singles chart. The video featured the transsexual model Caroline Cossey (aka Tula).

THE POWER STATION 33 1/3
is the debut album by The Power Station. It was released in 1985 on EMI. The album peaked at no. 6 on U.S. and no. 12 in the UK. The album is sometimes referred to as Power Station 33 1/3 as the sleeve for the original vinyl record release bore that subtitle, indicating the speed of a record turntable. Later compact disc issues used CD as a subtitle instead. The album's cover graphics and color scheme, which were also used in the videos, were based on sketches by John Taylor.

GET IT ON (BANG A GONG)
was covered by the band in May 1985. Their version – titled GET IT ON (BANG A GONG) – was released as their second single from their album. The track was a hit in both the UK, reaching number 22 on the UK, and the U.S., where the song peaked at number nine (one place higher than the original). When Robert Palmer heard that the other Power Station members had recorded demos for BANG A GONG, he asked to try out vocals for it. Before long, the band had decided to record the entire album with Palmer. The dancer in the video is Sara Carlson.

LIVING IN FEAR
is the second album from the group. The band had the same lineup as for their previous album in 1985. However, John Taylor was going through a divorce at the time, as well as entering drug rehab, and pulled out before the album was recorded. Instead Bernard Edwards, the producer, played all Taylor's bass parts on the record. Unfortunately, Edwards died in Japan before the album was released; the album is dedicated to his memory. These two events did not help the album and it was not a commercial success. Despite John Taylor's absence, he still received credit on the album. The band toured in support of the album in 1996. The set-list contained a mix of Palmer, Chic, old and new Power Station songs. Luke Morley of Thunder played with them. Due to the lack of record sales, as well as the deaths of Tony Thompson and Robert Palmer, the album is presumed to be the band's last recording together.

SHE CAN ROCK IT
is their only official single from their album, released in 1997. It was their fourth and final single. It featured "Power Trippin'" as its B-side, a rock-funk song written by the band for the U.S. version of the album, and also "Charanga" written by Palmer. While promoting the single, the band was asked to change a tongue-in-cheek rude line in the song on an American talk show. They refused and the song was never played on the show. Despite this the single peaked at number 63 on the UK Singles Chart.
