Tulpa was a tight, progressive, rock band with a DIY punk attitude. This was out first full length vinyl album. We borrowed the money to record it, produced it by ourselves and licensed it out to Midnight Music (UK), who released it in 1984.

REVIEW "Unable to settle, Tulpa move continually, nimbly and nervily around an axis of battered pop fundaments and crude bop, eating a way out from the inside, streamlined and precocious. A suburb of sound , and a new development worth visiting, Tulpa have got what we take."
