The band ceased to exist around 2004. Nonetheless, they are renowned than they deserve to be. There is nothing in my powers that can do to undo this injustice. But here I hope to make one positive contribution to their legacy. I am attempting to catalog a complete list of their releases. I realize that there are some gaps here. I'll add on as I learn more.
