Omnia Opera - Beyond the tenth (1986)

UK Free festival freaks Omnia Opera formed in 1985 & played numerous gigs supporting anarcho punk/hardcore bands, as well as more pysch outfits such as the Cardiacs and Pink Fairies. So far the band had mostly been active as a live unit, although they had recorded a couple of essential self released cassette albums, Beyond The Tenth(1986) and Celebrate For Change (1987). As far as official releases go, those didn't occur until the very end of the band's lifespan when they were approached by Delerium Records in the early 90's to record a couple of albums (omnia opera and red shift). Omnia Opera decided to reform in 2006, after what the band themselves describe as a brief pause lasting for about 12 years.
