The ep itself failed miserably at the time of issue, failing to receive any radio play, and leaving a dispirited TISM wondering whether it was time for a reset.

Which is, to an extent, a shame. Whilst a fateful visit to the Big Day Out Boiler Room resulted in a rejuvenated band totally overhauling its sound and emerging with the award winning “Machiavelli And The Four Seasons”, there was a lot of incredibly good music emanating from the band throughout 1993. With Tokin’ becoming increasingly comfortable in front of the guitar amp, TISM worked up some of the wildest tunes of their career to that point, much of it eventually abandoned.
