Originally released in 1996 as Scorpion Wind's “Heaven Sent” CD/LP this album
has long been considered the ‘lost’ classic collaboration between Death In
June's Neo-Folk pioneer Douglas P. and Industrial Music's renegade innovator
Boyd Rice.
Recorded in Australia prior to the pair starring in the cult film ‘Pearls Before
Swine’, it is a unique, melodic and richly orchestrated ode to modern living,
modern loving – and modern hating.
Joined by percussionist John Murphy (ex-SPK, The Associates, Current 93) for the
first of what was to prove many collaborations between the ‘Unregistered 3’ and
young Australian group Strength Through Joy (now Ostara), these recordings
proved to be the perfect follow up to 1990’s ground-breaking Boyd Rice & Friends
album “Music, Martinis & Misanthopy”. However, due to legal problems with
distribution, few were to hear this.
Now for the first time in nearly ten years a digitally remastered CD is
available including two extra tracks from the era and stunning new artwork,
presented in a red and black foil-blocked 'Softpak'. Released on Soleilmoon /
Nerus and available December 29th, 2007.
