485:, with Fixsen. In 2009 Fiedler, recalling of the split, stated "it wasn't amicable. In fact it took me years to get over it, which is kinda sad to admit. I haven't spoken to Dave in years..." Earlier (in a 1995 Laika interview), she had commented "Laika is a close working collective; in Moonshake that was never possible. David and I always did what we liked. I have never compromised myself and that's the main reason why I was forced to leave the band. After the American tour David no longer wanted to work with me." Recalling the disagreement 30 years later, Callahan admitted "I felt like I lost my creative partner. Stupidly, I kind of rashly just rang her up once and said, "I don't want you to be in the band anymore," and she was really fucking upset. I felt quite bad about it. It was my fault for not being a very good communicator at that age." Callahan and Fiedler repaired their personal relationship in later years. 569:. I definitely had plans. We were using this big room at a studio called Blackwing that the Cocteau Twins, The Family Cat, and others had used before us. I had hundreds of sheets of paper over the wall with — because I can't read music — mixing and arranging diagrams of horns and samples and whose vocals went where... I had all this stuff written out on scraps of paper and stuck to the wall. It looked like a hoarder’s front room. In the studio I'd say, "I want a double bass on this." And I'd try to find a double bass player on the phone in the studio, and they'd come in the next day. It was all quite chaotic, and it sounds chaotic because of that. I could have carried on recording that for months. In a way I wish I'd got an actual producer in to make a bit more sense of it, but a lot of people like the chaos, so who am I to say?" 478:. By now the divergent styles of the two songwriters was producing too much creative tension for the band to survive for much longer. Callahan: "Margaret probably had slightly more songs than me on the first LP, and was feeling that she really needed to record with just her and Guy on her own, and she said as much to me in a meeting. I started to feel like maybe I was getting edged out of my own band... She wanted to record with Guy, who by that time was not just the producer, but her partner. So it was very much a sewn-together kind of thing. Whereas I was still out on my own." In 2009, Fiedler recalled that "maybe after a while, the tension that was there in our writing and singing styles spilled over into real life. Things did get extremely tense on the last tour we did together in 1993 in North America." 740:) from late June to early August. The latter experience proved disappointing - assigned to "the third stage", the band played from the back of a truck some distance from the main arena. Dickaty recalled "with other so-called 'alternative' artists, we played to a largely indifferent crowd of thrill-seeking metal fans." While unimpressed by their treatment by the Lollapalooza organisation, the band maintained an affection for the United States and continued to tour there whenever possible, Callahan having already discovered that American audiences were "much more open-minded. I think they'd had enough of grunge and all that kind of stuff... we were finding these audiences that had been into 409:) had everything the band should be about on it. It had everything. We certainly thought we'd done something that was true to us that would either be ignored for being too out there or would make an impression. And, fortunately, it made an impression. We wanted it to be both weird and have songs. We wanted it to have an upside-down kind of layering. It needed to have big bass and drums, like some dub or funk records, but we also wanted to find ways to incorporate the samples in a way that didn’t sound like they were sellotaped on, like so many other bands. We wanted it to be completely enmeshed in the songs and the music. And I think we succeeded with that." 312:, and lacked the dub element featured in later recordings. Callahan soon considered this a misstep. "We got really bad reviews in the music press. The record sold rather well because a lot of people liked weird head-fucky shoegaze stuff... I'm told lots of people really enjoyed tripping and listening to it. There's lots of stuff going on in the stereo and the speakers with different pans and stuff. People were getting quite freaked out with it. But it was too close to what a lot of other bands were doing, as far as I was concerned. We were supposed to be heading out on our own, and we kind of made a faltering step."  343:. According to Callahan, the band was "determined...because we'd made such a false step with the Creation EP. The next one should really be a leap. And it was... We spent a long time in the studio kind of dismantling that song and putting it back together. Margaret spent most of the session with headphones, on a sampler, just trying to match things to the music. She turned a song I wrote into something a bit more forward-looking... And then when we got to the studio, we took it apart more. It was all about deconstruction and putting it back together in different ways. And it worked really well." 706:"I like the fact that I can make a record and you won’t get it all in a few sittings, you can go back and hear different things all the time. ‘Cause if I didn’t do that I’d get bored myself, and I like to think listeners want to hear different things. If people do go back, then I’ve been successful... I think the songs are dense, and they hopefully make you think, and thinking is entertaining. People aren’t encouraged to think, and they lack proper entertainment because of that... You should question things until you die. I like music that makes people uneasy. It makes your mind work overtime." 377:, followed in October 1992. It continued the alternation between the different song-stylings of Callahan and Fiedler. Callahan said that "if you listen to the line-up with her and me, it's a schizophrenic band... It’s got a dual personality. We did occasionally write songs together, but we were mostly flipsides to each other... But we'd also play with it more and have really noisy bits in her quiet songs and occasional really quiet bits in my noisy songs. The whole thing was meant to blend. There were definitely a lot of contradictions there, but that’s interesting in a band, isn't it?" 787:. In its band formation (in which Callahan was joined by singer Anja Buechele) The $ urplus! released a single self-titled EP containing four songs, resembling Moonshake's later material but with a lighter and less brutal approach, the inclusion of guitars, and Callahan and Buechele operating as much more equal partners than was the case with latter-day Moonshake. The band briefly experimented with an expanded garage-rock lineup, but did not release any more material (although Buechele later contributed to the revived 195:

I didn't like and still don't like the way I sing now, so we wanted someone to kind of soften my voice and make it more interesting, perhaps even do harmonies. So I put an advert in the

I just wish they'd been recorded or arranged a bit better. If anything, I should have toned down the yelling and sung things more gently because the music's rough and weird enough. I don't need to be all angular over (the) top of it."  826:"a history of making music on the dole, incorporating anecdotes, interviews, musical selections, social history, dirty squatters, social security scroungers, workshy ponces and a whole load of cultural misappropriation", for which the first entry related to Moonshake performing a 1997 record label showcase in New Orleans while Callahan and Michael Rother were simultaneously waiting for imminent DSS Restart interviews back in the UK. 447:"has some of our best stuff on it. It's fantastic. But that was largely recorded separately. I recorded with Mig and John, for the most part, in a studio, and Margaret did a lot of her stuff at home with Guy, and just brought it into a studio to mix. She scrapped one of her songs as well, and we had to come back in again so she could do "Two Trains", which I think was pretty much entirely written and recorded at home." 33: 231:
alternated considerably depending on which songwriter's songs were being played. Initially, the band's diversity added to its strength - in 2009, Fiedler recalled "I really liked Dave Callahan's songs and his voice - obviously! That's why I wanted to be in a band with him...
