The band had been dumped by Phonogram, owing them nearly a million pounds, though not before recording a couple of demos. The first included "Elvis Died For You," "TV Brain" and the unreleased "Desolation Boulevard" (all co-written with Coler & Richardson). A five-song demo included the tracks "Private Hell" (two versions), "Trash Madonna," "Tomorrow Belongs To The Love Reaction," and "Airline Highway." Signing with Musidisc saw the band take a left-turn into musical oblivion. Zodiac recalled, "To be honest, they were the only ones who would have the album! They're like the South America of the record industry... We got turned down by literally every record label in the world".[1]

Notes
  1. Metal Forces, 1991
gollark: Also, Arch has a great list of packages *and* the AUR.
gollark: Oh no, typing.
gollark: The install is not that hard:- set correct keyboard layout- connect to WiFi- synchronize date/time- partition disks- format partitions- mount filesystems to /mnt or whatever- pick mirrors (kind of optional)- install packages (`base`, `linux`, probably `nano`, `dhcpcd` or whatever)- generate `/etc/fstab`- chroot into `/mnt`- set time zone- set locale- set hostname, add entries to `/etc/hosts`- set root password- install bootloader
gollark: Your awful OS, yes.
gollark: All of them do as far as I know, even just to set passwords and stuff.
