"One night in June 82 I was riding home along Camden Road when I drove down a hole that had been dug in the road and that hadnâ€™t been filled properly. I flew over the handlebars and collided with some park railings, fracturing my left elbow in 8 places, breaking my ulna and radius, several toes, my right heel, and cutting my head and chest open. I spent the entire summer in hospital, and the next year recuperating. I sued Camden Council, and after 3 years (!) I got an out of court settlement. My solicitor told me to reject it and hold out for more, but we were completely broke and in debt, so I took the money, I paid off all my debts, bought a car, had a holiday and had just enough left to buy a portastudio and issue a privately pressed album.
I gave out Miasma as I finally entitled it to a few friends, and figured that was that. However, one of these mates gave a copy to Funhouse Records in Margate. They, in turn, called me up and ordered 200 copies. A few weeks later they asked for another 500. Then some foreign distributors called up asking for copies. I couldnâ€™t believe what was happening. After years of trying and getting nowhere, I stopped trying and suddenly it all starts going right. Thereâ€™s got to be a moral in there somewhere."- Nick Saloman
