| - Now that's what I call Noisebox was released in 1995, designed to be a sampler and as a full stop at the end of the Backwater Series of sampler singles and EPs. The Album included a track by each band that had appeared on the first 4 EPs, plus one track by a band intended to be on the fifth EP which never happened, plus three tracks by people who were variously involved in the projects, This included Richard Hammerton ofPurple Studios new project after Stare, called Slot; Richard being responsible for a lot of the recordings by the bands. Chris Wyatt engineer at The Swamp (and formerly of Eden) project called Mechanical Star who was responsible for recordings by the others, and a track by Nick Stone, who produced nearly all of the design work for Noisebox, with Pete Morgan in a two man thing called Neatishead. At the time the intention was to concentrate on individual bands releases after this point, although Noisebox did go back to split singles and samplers later on. The packaging was unusual and heavily subsidised by the two printers who were involved, Magpie (Bob Horton being a keen musician in his Youth) and PSNL, it featured a 24 page booklet with a page per band, who were consulted on the content (The Waddle page caused some consternation in some quarters). The book and CD were wrapped in a card sleeve with embossing, the CD was mounted on a spindle, The cases were hand assembled, The process being described as "Fucking terrible" and "never to be repeated", which it wasn't until several years later when everyone had forgotten how bad it was.
