Single Gun Theory came out of Sydney in 1986 making electronic dance music for people who'd rather drift than stomp. The core was a trio: Jacqui Hunt singing lead, Kath Power shaping vocal melodies and working the synthesizers, and Pete Rivett-Carnac on guitar, synths and sampler, splicing samples of spoken dialogue into the mix like voices overheard from another room.

Their sound is downtempo and dreamy, with Hunt's ethereal, inward-looking vocals floating over slow-rolling beats and shimmering keys. After their debut, they stretched out on Millions, Like Stars in My Hands, the Daggers in My Heart Wage War in 1991, a title as long and grand as the music is hushed, with "From A Million Miles" as its standout. Their records came out through the Canadian label Nettwerk and Australia's Volition Records.

Flow, River of My Soul followed in 1994 with "Fall", deepening the trance-like mood, and they later released a soundtrack album for Samantha Lang's film The Monkey's Mask.
