These 17 studio recordings from 1982-83 range in styles and approaches. Some tracks are electronic trance/drone pieces with an abrasive edge and others feature jangly, disjointed oddly-tuned (and played) electric guitar, bass and screeching synth. Possible parallels (not comparisons or influences) could be made to F/i or Occupant. Aggressive minimal electronics with a biting rock edge to it. Comes with one of four color xerox covers.</div> <div data-block="true" data-offset-key="37eqk-0-0" class="_45m_ _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; position: relative; color: rgb(55, 62, 77); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">- January 1985 Cause And Effect Cassette Distribution Service Catalogue.</div>
