This Heat – Health And Efficiency – EP

Modern Classics Recordings

With their self-titled debut, This Heat sowed the seeds of post-punk, avant rock, noise rock and post-rock. The album took the trio – Charles Bullen, Charles Hayward and Gareth Williams – two years to create, and placed them at the forefront of experimental music.

The follow-up, the 20-minute “Health and Efficiency”, proved to be a less labored – and more conventional – record to make. Bridging the gap between the debut and their masterpiece, “Deceit”, the 1980 release found the band settling into a groove at their Cold Storage Studio.
