the exhausted soldiers, sleepless for 5 or 6 days at a time, Always hungry for a decent meal, suffering from the tropical infections, keep fighting for white. right now if they are watching me they've got to make up their minds whether I know they are here..and will pass by... I know they are here. But where did they come from? not the sea, W''ve had our eyes glued to it. Wher did the come from ? not the air. We know there ain't an airfield here. Where did they come from? white soldier in the corner, white soldier in the corner

inspired by DIY, kraftwerk, magma and two tape recorders the band began as a recording project in 1979. The obscure results appeared on cassettes in small quantities. A strange sound, strange music. Eventually this led to a number of lp's, cassettes and countless gigs . They played the light from their eyes.
