Deceit is beautiful. One of my favourite records, and must've been a mind**** when it came out especially.

The self-titled though goes beyond that - it's visionary stuff. There's a song on there that sounds like the prototype for the Autechre/Aphex type music of the early 90s - amazing given when it came out. The whole record is all over the place. I prefer Deceit marginally, but their self-titled is like nothing else - truly alien for its time.

I liken them to early Cabaret Voltaire, but better. What a band. Wish they'd released more records, but the reissues are gonna rule.
