Follow up album to "It's all about purpose". Conceived during a trip to Istanbul. It is more rhythmic, hypnotic and Easternised than it's Germanic predecessor. The Mellotron, Wind Synth and acoustic effects play a bigger role than the electronic dabblings of "It's all about purpose".

This was the last "official" release in the classification series. It is more structured than it's predecessors but is still threaded with the experimental and unusualness that was a trademark of the series. Clear Durutti Column influences remain alongside a hypnotic drum machine driven experimental pop music that sits it absolutely in the mid eighties. This has some splashes of commercial appeal with evidence of Big Country's guitar sound and  Siouxsie & the Banshees influences of the period.  

When composer and keyboardist Jasun Martz was touring with FRANK ZAPPA on his 1977/78 world tour as Frank's synthesizer programmer, Martz was also composing a symphony-THE PILLORY. The avant-garde, contemporary classical, experimental, prog rock, mellotron masterpiece featured over 40 musicians including members of Zappa's band (Ruth Underwood, Eddie Jobson and others).  The recording has been released on 4 different labels through the years and is considered a legendary release.  25 years on, Jasun has finally recorded the sequel and surpassed his original masterpiece with "The Pillory / The Battle" which is an astounding symphony comprising elements of emotive beauty, brash chaotic volume and moments of starkness. The 115 member Intercontinental Philharmonic Orchestra were hand picked from all corners of the earth by Jasun to perform this historic recording.
