The band released two LPs; Vessels in 1981, and Zoom Vs. Man in 1983. A retrospective called G'arage D'Or was released on the Extreme label in 1991. On 2 February 2002, Howspace listed the Chapter Records CD Can't Stop It: Australian Post-Punk 1978-82 as album of the week, saying that post punk ...was a unique period of Australian music then, and now, one we'll probably never see again. The album includes the band's song The Dumb Waiters.[1] In May/June 2009, M Squared released a vinyl set called M SQUARED - Pardon Me For Barging In Like This which included the band's Style Noodle on the third LP.[2] In January 2010, Ascension Records reissued the band's music on disk two of a commemorative compilation CD called Terrace Industry (ANCD036) along with bands such as Scattered Order, Systematics, A Cloakroom Assembly and Prod.
