July 1980 to September 1981 marked an intensive period of creativity informed by the new music we were being exposed to, and films we’d seen around that time: Eraserhead, Scorpio Rising, Apocalypse Now, Warhol’s Dracula and Argento’s Suspiria all played a part. We became curious about what would result from a partial breaking away from traditional song structures and experimenting with the concept of soundtrack and incidental music. Film music looking for a film, so to speak.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBonus tracks on the second disc include lauded 12” single The Presence and Concorde Square, produced by the legendary Martin Hannett at Pink Floyd’s Britannia Row studio, as well as the group’s powerful John Peel session from January 1981.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSleeve art by Benoit Hennebert.
