Warne Livesey started his career in London, England as a musician and sound engineer, working with producers like David Lord and Rhett Davies. This led to early production work during London's rapidly expanding independent music scene in the early 1980s. In 1986 he teamed up with Matt Johnson to work on his The The album Infected. Livesey worked closely with Johnson on the record also contributing on bass and keyboards as well as arranging for strings. The album went on to sell more than a million copies worldwide. He also worked on the follow up album Mind Bomb in 1989. Following that he produced Saint Julian by Julian Cope before going to Australia to work with Midnight Oil on their album Diesel and Dust.

The opening track, Beds Are Burning, was an international hit and is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll.
