He has also released a solo album, Amateur Night in the Big Top, to a mixed critical reception. In 1995 Ryder launched his new project, Black Grape. Its first release, It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah, topped the British album chart for a week. However, the follow-up album, Stupid Stupid Stupid, did not achieve the same critical or commercial success, and the group split in 1998.
