"Toy World is the second album released by Cardiacs (the first was under the name 'Cardiac Arrest'). The cassette is a mixture of older songs by the earlier 'Cardiac Arrest' lineup and newer songs by the then-current Cardiacs lineup. The tracks were recorded under very low budget circumstances - one member later recalled 'Every time the door bell went or the phone rang, it would put a massive crackle on the tapes.' Toy World was only available on cassettes sold at the band's concerts, and is consequently one of the rarest Cardiacs releases."
"Cardiacs are an English rock band formed in 1977, originally as 'Cardiac Arrest'. Noted for their complex, varied, and intense compositional style, balancing the attack and 'raw energy' of punk rock with the intricacies and technical cleverness of early British progressive rock. The band also incorporates elements of other musical forms such as ska, mediaeval music, folk music, heavy metal, hymns and corporate anthems."
