Another Deviants CD came out in 1996 called Fragments of Broken Probes and is more of a compilation, with an excerpt from Beginning of the End (the horror flick about giant grasshoppers) and a description of the Tunguska event, where a comet or asteroid exploded over Siberia in 1908 (a much smaller but similar explosion in Russia was caught on video last year) interspersed among Deviants recordings from a variety of sources. They include what might be their best live performance, of “Half-Priced Drinks”; and other treats include “Outrageous Contagious”, “Broken Statue” and “Shock Horror”. The closing track, a monologue called “Dog Poet” name-checks the Hashashim – whence came the words “hashish” and “assassin” – and the Anti-Christ in its wild tale of adventures on the outer fringes of humanity.

FRAGMENTS OF BROKEN PROBES
I couldn’t find anything in YouTube that is taken from Andy Colquhoun’s solo CD, Pick up the Phone, America!, so here are some killer Deviants cuts for you: “Lost Johnny”, audio only (from the gloriously good 1996 album Fragments of Broken Probes) – www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpDOvLk7dtc .
