Almost. The first album is "An Electric Storm" and is well worth getting
hold of (but it *is* extremely odd). Hard to describe, so I'll quote the
blurb from the sleeve:

"Many sounds have never been heard - by humans: some sound waves you don't
hear - but they reach you. 'Storm-stereo' techniques combine singers,
instrumentalists and complex electronic sound. The emotional intensity is at
a maximum."

I kid you not. Says it all, really! Don't know if it ever made it to CD. I
also have the second album  - the imaginatively-titled "White Noise II"
(circa 1975, I think). I haven't heard this in years but recall it being
absolutely dreadful. There is also a White Noise III from the 80's (or
90's?) I believe, but I never bothered with that given the travesty of the
second. Hope that helps.
