Excellent early Flying Nun band from Christchurch featuring 3 future Terminals (Stapleton, Elborado and Crook). Some terrific songs that build suspense and tension with galloping drums, rumbling bass and a cacophony of guitar, organ and violin.

One of Bruce Russell's (Dead C) and Alastair Galbraith's darkest outfits, often dealing with distinct imagery and motif's in their music and especially pronounced in their liner notes (most of which are distributed through Russell's Corpus Hermeticum label). Formed by the duo in Dunedin in 1984, and primarily a free noise group. Though primarily a duo, Peter Stapleton had been a regular contributor from 1993 until his passing in March 2020.
