By the end of 1978, only Perry and Burns remained from the previous line-up, although ATV used additional musicians live and in the studio. The band’s second album, Vibing Up the Senile Man (Part One) , saw the band take a more explicitly experimental direction, which alienated both the music press and audiences. A recording of one gig which ended in a violent stage invasion can be heard on the cassette-only release Scars on Sunday . A live LP was released, documenting their tour with commune-dwelling progressive band Here & Now , marking the band’s further movement away from the punk/ new wave scene. A final single “The Force Is Blind” featured Anno from Here and Now on additional vocals.
