“Bailter Space was known as one of the loudest live acts of the era in terms of sheer decibels, while Vortura combined the trio’s noise-sculpting, an obsession with harmonics, and the catchiest pop hooks they’d put on record to date.” *

Vortura is the 4th album from New Zealand ex-pats Bailter Space (at this point, Alister Parker, John Halvorsen, and Brent McLachlan), and was released in 1994.
