The band's sound began to adopt a wider repertoire of music towards the end of 1986. This is especially illustrated on the fourth cassette release, "There is Nothing". Songs now began to highlight a space rock vibe, with flavors of reggae. This, Wynne says, was not intended, but was the result of seeing the band Here & Now perform live. The addition of more world music (through sampling and performing) was the result of Joie Hinton traveling to India and Ed traveling to Thailand. There is also a noticeable rise in quality on the 1986 release of "There is Nothing", due to the purchase of a new 8-track tape machine. This allowed for more synth overdubbing and real drum tracks.
