Recorded in Auckland in 1984, these archival tracks capture seminal New Zealand band This Kind Of Punishment's unique alchemy of poignant melody and four-track claustrophobia.

The previously unreleased "Radio Silence" offers an astringent, phantasmagoric comment on - and perhaps retreat from - the contemporaneous NZ scene. "Reaching An End" (from legendary compilation Killing Capitalism With Kindness) is a classic in the mold later perfected on Peter Jefferies' solo output: unadorned piano blanketed by rich, wistful vocals, plucked strings and muffled drum beat. Less, after all, can be so much more.
