Eskimos & Egypt

A few year's back I came across a track by this band called "Screams and Whispers". I've heard that it was the b-side to a 7" which had a track "The cold" on it. If anyone has this track, perhaps you can tell if it is any good.
BTW, the band became a rave/techno band in the 90s but the cold is from the second half of the 1980s.
Cheers,

This is indeed a rarity...I've only seen the record for sale 3 times (I bought 2 of them). What a great record. All three songs are excellent, but of the three "The Cold" may be my least favorite. This record was released in very small numbers by the group as it was contemplating a change in musical direction, and as Plastik44 states they did indeed become quite a successful techno band.

Here is "The Cold"

<br>Thanks for the infos on Eskimos and Egypt, not to mention the track.
Do you know if they produced anything else before the 7", Eight6?
Thx again for the track.

As far as I've been able to gather from Doug Boit (produced the tracks) and from David Cameron-Pryde of the group, this was their first release.
