The band released the EP Pigment in 1991. This album, along with 1992's Susurrate, featured a feedback-drenched psychedelic rock sound.[citation needed]

From there, the band moved into ambient and techno-influenced soundscapes, as evidenced by their 1993 album, Free-D, produced with Guy Fixsen (Laika).[citation needed] Free-D marked the end of the original lineup and something of a hiatus for the band. For the next six years, they only released the 1994 remix EP AstralaVista.[2][3]

1999's In Dust 3 featured Muchow and actress Kateřina Winterová on eleven tracks of pop and post rock sounds. This was followed in 2003 by Slowthinking,[4] released with the accompanying Fastmoving/Slowthinking DVD.[citation needed]

The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa released Watching Black in 2006, and in 2011, a DVD titled 101010 came out, featuring a live performance recorded on 10 October 2010.[citation needed]
