These two albums date from the 1990s and are released here as a 2 CD package at mid-price.

" The album is noteworthy for it's 10-minute closing track, "Thunderstorm," which is a combination of several demos. Blue Sky On Mars is a new-wave album which features the synth-laden singles "Where You Get Love" and "Come to California.
