Biography

In 1976, [a=Charles Hayward] of [a=Phil Manzanera]'s [a=Quiet Sun] (and, briefly, [a=Gong]) joined with [a=Charles Bullen] and [a=Gareth Williams] to form This Heat. Though arising from art-rock and the British school of fusion jazz, This Heat quickly developed into an experimental band largely dependent on tape loops and production tricks. This Heat dissolved in 1982-1983 following a European tour in which [a=Trefor Goronwy] replaced Gareth Williams who had recently departed the band. [a=Charles Bullen] went on to solo work and put together his own studio in the late 1980s; he has recently issued a CD under his own name. Gareth Williams subsequently released a cassette-only album [a=Flaming Tunes] in 1985 with [a=Mary Currie] and continued to perform as a DJ until shortly before his death. [a=Charles Hayward] decided to keep up public performances and formed [a=The Camberwell Now] along with Trefor Goronwy and several others.

LYRICS

Surveying the twilight furniture
Telescope pressed to patched eye
Love is blind, so we are told
Don't pull the wool over our eyes
Shuttered eye, metal eye
Eye and brain, I and brain

Shapes policed and disinfected
Searchlights stop towers and dead sky
[Tommy guns] typewriters aimed and loaded
Fountain pen and a .35
Careless talk costs lives
Careless love costs lives
Cease-fire ends at midnight
Curfew starts at ten
Unclear vision [as soon]
Nuclear vision [our friend]
We must shake him by the hands
