Duality

 Recorded at Axis Studio and mixed at FON in Sheffield, `Duality' developed the narrated poetry and vocal styles found as snatches on previous recordings, which for this recording became the structure and basis of tracks. The track `Red Harvest' was influenced by the writings and life of Dashiel Hammett. The text in the middle was written by a friend of the group (coincidentally called George B. Shaw) and finally narrated by band percussionist `Q'. The background noises of cigarette smoking along with the sounds of bourbon being poured and drunk are all intentional and in fact aided the final result! The typewriter was a recording (in a bath) of an old Bartlet portable.

"To open the eternal worlds, to open the immortal eyes
Of man Inwards, into the worlds of thought, into Eternity".
