about

This album was released on June 24, 1985, in cassette-only form, and included tracks written during the Susan Sleepwalking sessions but not released on that album. There is a pretty clear progression in both songwriting and sound toward a style that would form the basis for the Love Power & Justice album to be released a year later. One side of the album (all of the songs here) had the Arms of Someone New, the other side had songs by DATA-BANK-A (not included here).

Formed in 1983 when Mel Eberle and Steve Jones started collaborating, occasionally teaming up with Nick Rudd, Glenn Graham, Tim Hanafee and others. ... more
