Recordings are held in the NDR archive; alongside numbers by the Family of Percussion, they played Pepl's “Das Auge des Maulwurfs” and Pirchner's “Wirf an!”. The exact date is missing, probably the first half of 1984. Kohler names Doug Hammond, Tom Nicholas and Trilok Gurtu as the group's legendary line-up; their participation in 1984 is not explicitly documented.
