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 1990s 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.
