The project released over 20 cassettes, mainly in DIY manner on own "Industrial Tapes" label, but in later years (1987-1993) moved to such legendary labels as "Minus Habens" / "Technological Feeling" / "RV" / "Amen - THX 1138" (also appears on many compilations by them).

Music is mixture of post-punkish mutant synths / gurgling cold beats / distorted voices and bleeping noises tearing metallic fields appart = the soundtrack for images of consumers control, medical experiments, psychological warfare and other highlighted themes of modern industrial era.

Main tools were: synths, drum machines; shortwave radios, loops, TV noises and self-build effectors.
