They were offered to be after appearing on the label's Subterranean Modern compilation, but turned it down (some accounts assert it was because they didn't like the other acts on the label, and certainly Edge was cantankerous enough to have said something like this, but probably because, at that point, there likely didn't seem to be much upside in going with them over continuing to put out stuff on their own Siren label)

If you get a chance, play a track from the Swiss band Flame Dream's album featuring guitarist Dale Hauskins. He was decidedly not Swiss.
