The six minutes of silence seems appropriate after that song. Dave McComb is much missed.12 years ago

Triffids, Saints, Nick Cave. All part of the Aussie influence on music. Loved and still love them alll. And not to forget the Go-Betweens. Between them all, we have loved and lost too many musicians.12 years ago

Great track from a terrific band. Their tentacles spread even into South Africa in '87 which is about when i heard this from Calenture, right? or was it Born Sandy Devotional. Either way it reminds ME of NIck Cave's Murder Ballads for some reason.14 years ago

@tahhana86 agreed, theres a 'did i just see something' vibe, and a 'this space is so wide and open- its scary. working in the outback/desert is like that sometimes..you know that there cant be anyone anywhere near you..but still, you know youre vulnerable even though not why!14 years ago

@goldminetrash I agree, it hasn't aged at all, it's still as powerful...raw and delicate at the same time. And, I'm just curious, how do you feel about "Personal Things"?15 years ago

This song and "Stolen Property" are my favorites from the album, with "TheSeabirds" a close 3rd. I was in high school when I bought this album, and knew it was something different. It sounds even better today.15 years ago

@chdimas thanks for your comment! hope you make that film one day :) I always heard a bit of david lynch atmosphere in it...or is it darker than that? an open-air claustrophobia, if that makes any sense.15 years ago

This is my all time favourite song from these guys. I was 18y old when I first heard it and I was hooked by its dark promise... Always wanted to make a film and somehow use this track in the soundtrack...Related Videos
