This still-active Sydney combo’s third album, from 1989, exemplifies a peculiarly Australian jazz-punk hybrid (see also Ed Kuepper’s Laughing Clowns).
Mangrove swampland licks gutter in the loose-limbed shadow of Albert Ayler and his ecstatic ilk; saxes squawk over driving bass; a snowstorm of flailing drums blows grunge blueprints West to Seattle and into Mudhoney’s laps.
Captain Beefheart’s head spins 360 degrees on Blairin’ Linda, the queerly spiritual Let’s Make Garbage moulds magic out of mess, and Kissing Your Shadow’s spluttering wah wah surges towards an unknowable ideal.
A second disc offers fifteen earlier and less unhinged tunes.
