"Heart of Stone" was from an SVT EP -- and was a featured singled. And I'm sure even 415 label mates haven't thought about New Math since, well, the mid- '80s.

I've had a soft spot for their debut "...In a Chamber" ever since. Although their later LPs failed to live up to that album, I did wind up investigating other 415 artists like Translator as a result. I guess the label did hold a certain cachet with me. I was always puzzled why at least one of the acts from their roster never had any more than limited success.
