Sean Bad Times Three has lot's of cool bleeps and beats as well. This album got even more commercial sounding but there are still some outstanding tracks!

John Mentzer Like a surreal carnival ride after washing a vicadin down with MD 20/20, Rotund for Success is a wildly fun, sickeningly grotesque blur which you'll want to get back in line for again and again.

David Elkin-Bram Chasing Skirt and Bad Times Three also stand out, for me. All Saints Day has been a staple of many a mix tape.

Runman I bought this as a blast from the past, had it on cassette once, this and the album preceding it, 'Bulkhead' were the beginnings of any form of Australian avant guard electronic music. And IMO it was better than anything available globally at the time. Kudos to Ellard and crew.
