Chris Knox - Seizure, 1989 | Man On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown
Chris was always essentially a collaborator. He sensibly liked to work with others with the expertise he lacked. Finally, over time, step by step, he gained the know-how to be able to record a solo album that he could be happy with. Seizure was brisk and to the point, but it needed to be.
The Bats - Free All The Monsters, 2011 | Man On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown
Despite Seacliffe Asylum's frightful history, the band were collectively conscious of the general good vibes around the recording, and you can hear that state of mind in the finished recording. Free All the Monsters is an album of great sounds performed and recorded in a relaxed and expert manner.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting us at Flying Nun Records. Over the past forty years, the record label has released hundreds of alternative and underground Aotearoa New Zealand music artists, bands, albums, records, EPs, singles and videos. Flying Nun originally started in the South Island in 1981, championing what later became known as the 'Dunedin Sound'. These days, we continue to release new local artists and bands, as well as reissuing albums from the catalog. We have a record store located in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, which sells vinyl LPs, records, CDs, band t-shirts, merchandise, cassettes and other stuff. The shop stocks both our record label releases, as well as a curated selection of interesting other music. We are also active with our news and blog. Occasionally, Flying Nun puts on live music events and gigs. Please take a look around!
