was originally released in December 1977 on EMI's progressive label 'Harvest' perhaps an unlikely label for a release that effectively prefigured both post-punk & art-punk
Highlights include the anthemic "Pure Morning" and the electro-rock driven "Brick Shithouse
lead single ‘Jobs For Dogs‘ tackles the exploitative nature of greyhound racing by positioning listeners in the mind of the dog (the lyrics are buoyed long by a rough clatter like the band’s gone feral)

Recorded in Kelley Stoltz's home studio
A Point Too Far To Astronaut... folk rock was originally released in DecemberTelephone Jim Jesus compiled songs for a self released project, adding tracks and guests over two years. After being heard by the anticon family, it was released on the label as A Point Too Far to Astronaut, a psychedelic collage of samples, synths, drums, vocals, guitar, and piano, with surreal poetry. The record's mood ranges from hallucinatory to sad, paranoid and angry, to sarcastic and humorous.
