1-8 originally appeared on the first hnia tape called riotousness and postrophe, 1986. this tape also included "darkest dreams" which was identical to the version that would reappear on "livonia" (4AD, 1990) so it is omitted here. 9-16 were on the second, self-titled tape, summer 1987. 17-25 are from october 1987 - january 1988 and were released on a tape called "i had sex with god." track 26 was from an unfinished 4th tape from 1988. track 27 is a collage of recordings from 1990 during my first trip to london to meet with 4ad folks. it was maybe going to be the bonus track for rykodisc's release of "livonia" LP in the usa. tracks 5 and 11 were later sampled on "home is in your head" LP (4AD, 1991) in the songs, "pointless" and "reicarnation" [sic]. most songs were reissued briefly in 1990 by the band on a cassette called "1985-1989 stuff, early works." it featured a very colorful stolen photo from medical textbook on eyeball injuries. tracks 13, 14, 15, and 27 are previously unreleased, they are from weird mix tape i made my friend danny who lived in blissfield, michigan.
