Gordon Sharp is known as a contributor to the fluctuating lineup of This Mortal Coil and mainly for his work with Cindytalk, but his roots can be traced back to Scottish post-punk group The Freeze, not to be confused with the hardcore band from the states. The Freeze released two EPs, the first of which, "In Colour", should be considered a classic of dark punk. The music on the first two tracks is gloomy and driving, but its the third track, "Psychodalek Nightmares", that demonstrates the intense vibe and lyrical content that the band was going for. In many ways this EP falls somewhere between Syd Barrett and Wire.
