I made this music way back in 1995 when i was finishing high school .
My good friend Dean Henning . AKA = Captain Asthma  helped me with programming some of the beats as Dean was our main drummer in Both our high school bands "Incurable" and "Fingerhead" .
I had at this stage in my life a KORG X3 Workstation Keyboard ( Thanks to my dear parents and Babs Naidoo Music in Pietermaritzburg )

At this stage in my life i was obsessed with early 80s electro music ............. bands such as Grauzone , No more , D.A.F , Joachim whitt , O.M.D , Front 242 , Kraftwerk .................... this type thing .
Of course at this point in time in South Africa ( One year into our new Democracy ) Most people where not listening to this type music .
Dean and I attempted to Record a Second Unit album in Pietermaritzburg , in a studio with our friend Gavin .
The music was recorded straight from my Korg onto DAT tape and the vocals and bass guitar where recorded separately.
Unfortunately our DAT tape was corrupt and the recording was a disaster .
Somehow Dean came into possession of a recording made onto cassette tape ................... and this is the only recording of Second Unit in existence .
This music was very personal to me when i made it 
Hope you enjoy

Occasionally, though, people want to disappear with no obvious explanation: “When we ask where do you want to go, they say ‘I don’t know, I just want to change myself. I don’t belong here,’” Saita says. “They are looking for a new place, a new world.”

Rachel (A Door) has a hole in her spinal cord and much of her visual art work is automatic expressionist figure work which she believes is her body attempting to correct her proprioception and spinal alignment.

Her music sounds like her paintings look ; chaotic, dark, distorted and ethereal, with an overall sense of loss. These health issues affect her ability to play guitar as it caused motor function issues in her hand. It was during the Covid pandemic that she turn to making visual art and is now releasing music recorded prior to, and during, the pandemic under the name A Door.
