about

Another raga-fuelled extravaganza from the age of ersatz psychedelia! Very basically followed scheme of Indian classical music by laying out the scale at first and then exploring it. This is a live track and, though well recorded, can cause strain. If you download this album I authorise you to delete it if you show symptoms of strain.

An attempt at co-writing between Greg and me. Greg takes a bass solo.

Recorded live by Ian Wadley (who was mixing) at the Griffith University refectory 1983. Supporting the Dropbears.

The only track with all members playing on it.

lyrics

BE BRAVE

In a happy place we walk away we walk away
In a tear stained face we look away we look away
So blue

Waves of faces of words
No sound
Words surround

In a happy world there are no words, there are no words
In a wordless world
Behind a wall behind a wall
No sound at all

Waves of faces of faces
Be brave
Perpetually

Be brave...

etc ...
