Founded 1983 in Basel by saxophonist Alex Buess and former drummer Knut Remond , they have been shaping the forefront of a new sound area. Playing an abrasive distorted mix of dub, hardcore and free jazz that lead to a meeting of likeminded heavy heads that temporally took part in the band e.g. Kevin Martin (The Bug , Techno Animal ) or G.C. Green (Godflesh ). After marking their presence and extensive European tours, the band officially split up in 2000. The basis of the new LP Phantom Limb was recorded in 1995 by a new line-up with Alex Buess, Damian Bennett (Techno Animal), and Michael Wertmüller (Full Blast , Nohome , Alboth ) additionally expanded by vocalist and writer Eugene S. Robinson (Oxbow ) and Kasia Meow .
