Beautiful Pea Green Boat consisted of Ian Williams and Heather Wright. Williams is currently in the band Gamine, and Wright went on to form the band Doris in 1989. BPBG took their name from the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Edward Lear. Their output consisted of one album, 'Obsessions', a mini-LP 'Get Religion' (from which was taken a 7" edit of 'The Powerhouse', and three 12" singles, as well as being represented on various "Best ofs" and Samplers; A compilation CD, 'Still Life', featuring most of the album tracks was released in the USA, and a similar compilation (with the addition of the tracks from the Maremma 12"), 'Maremma and Other Stories' was released in Germany. However, ALL editions had in common at least these 2 of their trademark works: THE VASE; and PAPERHOUSE; There are 2 mixes of each- the more commonly found mixes (#2) are in an uptempo 'electrobeat' style; a listed "Goldcoast mix" cannot be verified as to being mix # 1 or mix #2 of the 2 songs; "Future Tense" contains the 2 same songs mixed in a very surreal, dreamy fashion, (#1 ) not, as of this writing, available in CD form
