(This was released by Displeased Records, of Holland, Sick Records of Poland (cassette), and Massacre Records of Germany). A compilation CD entitled "Todays Tomorrows Yesterday" appeared in 1995, featuring new tracks, remixes and two of the singles. The final album "Advanced Technology" (released by Visage Records of Germany) was released in 1998, and marked a departure from the earlier Metal sound to a more Techno/Industrial one. The band split in 1999. Andy and Dave are now prolific characters on the UK drag race scene.
