Recorded in 1984, my guess is in the summer, after VULTURE CULTURE (which was recorded May-June 1984) and before the recordings started for STEREOTOMY in Oct 1984. The movie premiered in Europe in late March 1985, and in USA in mid-April. Composed by Andrew Powell, produced by Alan Parsons. The 'APP' style tracks performed by the 'standard APP musicians line-up' of Ian Bairnson, Stuart Elliott and David Paton.
