In 1989 after the dissolution of A Neon Rome and before I joined as a full time member of Change Of Heart, Geoff Marshall (alias:photon decay) [Antimatter, Geoff Marshall and The Mail Order Cowboys], Ian Blurton {alias: Budd} and myself {alias: Sloberius B Creep} were sharing a house in the Annex area of Toronto. I roped them in to record this casette with me and I think it can best be described as having been "inspired" by being then constantly broke, smoking hash and listening to Hawkwind, watching Geraldo and Current Affair on TV in the afternoon and classic cult flicks that we rented from Dave Kiner's store around the corner in Mirvish village. Listening back to it some 30 years later, that combination of "influences" is exactly what it sounds like. We recorded on the "super cheap' with our first attempts at "sampling" with a dinky little casio SK-1 that I borrowed from my 10 year old nephew and a Yamaha Rx 5 drum machine with sequencing done on an Alesis MMT-8. Good times! It was one of the last things recorded on my old Teac 244 portastudio. We did one show with a band fleshed out by the amazingingly monstrous No Mind rhythm section of Alisdair Jones [Bass] and Paul Newman {Drums] that is documented in Derek von Essen's and Phil Sanders' book " No Flash Please [Underground music in Toronto 1987-92).
