The Modern Dance is unbeatable, too perfect. I bought it in '79, and still sounds brilliant to me. If may exist "evergreens" in avant-rock, this awesome record is one of them for sure.

So hard to find 'I hear they smoke the barbeque'. (Men From Mars) Can someone upload it? I'm pretty sure some background harmony from end of this cut was sampled by New Kids or other boy group in one of their tunes. Thanks!

Anyone here who knows where to find their very first work, "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" single with original guitarist Peter Laughner? I've searched the net but to no gain... please, help one sad fan :-/ Oh, and their local 'predecessor', "Rocket from the Tombs" band, would be also great? Nada? PM me if you have some helpful info, please ;-)
