Sometime Anywhere, the Church's ninth album, surfaced in May 1994 from a band whittled down to its two remaining originals. With Peter Koppes gone after Priest=Aura and drummer Jay Dee Daugherty not coming back, Steve Kilbey and Marty Willson-Piper threw out their old roles and went hunting for something looser: electronics, happy accidents, each man stacking up parts on whatever instrument was handy and then chiselling the pile down into songs, the way a sculptor works a block. Willson-Piper's childhood friend Andy 'Dare' Mason produced and mixed it, mostly at Karmic Hit in Sydney, and New Zealand drummer Tim Powles, brought in as a temp from Kilbey's Jack Frost project, ended up staying for good.

The result is long, dark and lush, a slow swirl of haze and guitar, and early copies came with a bonus disc, Somewhere Else. Arista saw little money in it, sales slipped, and the label cut the band loose.
