REMARK : was released as Sterile Records cassette At The Crypt.
Next info comes from the Sterile Records page :
Nigel Ayers' interest in the altered perspectives created by mental illness led him to correspond with and later befriend members of the industrial music group SPK. This was a music group that took its early inspiration from (what turned out to be sensationalised media reports of) a socialist mental patients' collective based in Germany. AYERS: "In 1990 we were performing in a squatted railway arch in Atlantic Road, Brixton. There were riots going on at the time, a response to Thatcher's racist policing operations. The street outside was strewn with rocks and the burned out shells of cars, the end of the road was blocked by rows of policemen. We'd seen SPK perform a few weeks earlier in Heaven, a gay nightclub, where they'd turned strobe lights on in the face of the audience. Whether this was an SPK stunt, or Heaven's usual policy, I never found out. But we knew they were coming to see us in the railway arch, so in homage we'd turned strobe lights on the audience. I remember Graeme complaining in the pub afterwards that he thought he was going to have a fit. "We became friendly and they invited us to play with them at the Crypt (also known as the Cryptic One Club), a youth centre in North London, at the height of their noisy period. I recorded the show on my Walkman, and I think it's the only live recording they ever allowed to be released. If you listen carefully you can hear me and my brother arguing over whether the Walkman's switched on or not.
