In 1983, CFA recorded and self-released an excellent 7" along the lines of fellow NY bands Antidote or the Mob. Tensions regarding Burkhardt's increasing interest in Krishna consciousness lead to the band's original breakup, although they managed to hold it together long enough to record a song for the 1984 P.E.A.C.E. double LP compilation.
