Lost For Words by Mach One is a collection of studio sessions and demos recorded in London during 1983, and released on vinyl (LP) the same year. Despite a limited number of pressings, the album was distributed worldwide via Pinnacle Records and reviewed in Sounds (a British music paper) by Mary Anne Hobbs (who later became a top DJ at BBC Radio) and Kerrang. Both reviews were fairly critical of the music, in light of the resurgence of progressive rock amidst the changing music and attitudes in the press. Mary Anne Hobbs wrote a humorous review, ending with the question "Funky hippies, whatever next?"
Note that six of the eight songs had been previously available on their previously released cassettes Six of One, and later the same songs were reissued on CD as part of the compilation An Ancient Lie released in 2002. The band confused fans by temporarily changing their name to 'Lost for Words', the title of their then current release.
The album cover featured artwork provided by Glenn Fabry, better known for his work as a British Comics artist.
