Wow. You have stuff I don't even have! HL-Ray from The Flowers here. Strange, unnerving, to revisit and sort of reconnect with one's youth and...anger(?) Great too to embarrass my kids! Sorry about my strange RUclips name - sometimes care is required these days. These mixes...sound so different to anything I have. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The second track on this 'discography' was played on the Tameside (Manchester) Community Radio Punk & New Wave show last Thursday. Hadn't ever heard it before, but I liked it instantly - even though I'm 62. Old punks never die, well their musical taste doesn't anyway!

Oooh you were kind enough to answer me politely, Hliary, when I found you on FB and I just want to say what a thrill that was.
We should be thanking you ... I can only speak for myself ofc, but ... you have given me, alone, hours of pleasure.
Thank you so much xxxx

This music is so wonderful.I found your band on a record compilation called mutant pop on the Fast product label, does that ring a bell at all? On a side note, there is an EP called Fright Night by a band called Apollo that came out last year that carries on the spirit of your sound beautifully! All the best

[@hilarymorrison2500]

@@lucasmoreno9848 We had a sound? Now I'm curious...The oast can sometimes be a strange place though...That said, am committed to Edinburgh Book Festival event to promote Hungry Beat the book about all that time ago in Scotland...

[@hilarymorrison2500]

OMG just realised - John Peel session? I never even had a copy of this! Again thanks.

[@andycorrigan5281]

One of the better post punk bands I've heard. I love this!

A real blast from the past! "I first heard "Life After Dark" ( a different mix from this) on the Mutant Pop compilation back in the 1980s. I think that album has been posted on YT.

[@RobinParmar]

This is missing the other recording of "Life After Dark", as featured on "Mutant Pop", but is otherwise complete. Always a great band!
From the land of Scott apparently. 🙂
