This is the first Positive Punk/Goth/Darkwave studio album to be released in Japan.
Produced by Auto-Mod frontman Genet together with the band, the album was quite elaborate for an Indie recording at the time, making it a very rewarding listen.
This is really a buried masterpiece.
Of course, you can hear the influence of Bauhaus and other british bands of the time, it should be ranked alongside Christian Death's early works "Only Theatre Of Pain" and "Deathwish". The band often played with Hardcore Punk bands such as Gauze at the time, and had a strong Punk-Rock flavour, other than Christian Death, other bands from Orange County, California, from the same era, for example, T.S.O.L. and Social Distortion's respective first Full-Lengths.
This album also shows the connection with "Dance With Me" and "Mommy's Little Monster", the first Full-Length of T.S.O.L. and Social Distortion respectively.

Zin-François-Angeliqué: vocals
