Led by former <a href="spotify:artist:5iCbxNKdnkqTazWwOsnEJa">Gordons</a> guitarist Alister Parker, noise rock unit Bailter Space emerged from Christchurch, New Zealand in 1987. Originally comprised of former <a href="spotify:artist:6LRmgzRManplPQghd2BMqz">Clean</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1PWA0lpxep5zsUGmGD202Y">Great Unwashed</a> drummer <a href="spotify:artist:754spBmEBPBcB1E6fPeQmF">Hamish Kilgour</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:03zm0jBmzUeabC0uRO8MZw">Pin Group</a> alum Ross Humphries on bass, and Glenda Bills on drums, the group issued its debut EP, Nelsh, on the famed <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Flying+Nun%22">Flying Nun</a> label later that year; both <a href="spotify:artist:2V5C5106me7RpBaRGMUzLS">Humphries</a> and Bills departed soon after, resulting in the addition of former <a href="spotify:artist:5iCbxNKdnkqTazWwOsnEJa">Gordons</a> bassist John Halvorsen in time to record the 1988 full-length Tanker. A tour followed, but when <a href="spotify:artist:6LRmgzRManplPQghd2BMqz">the Clean</a> re-formed, <a href="spotify:artist:5S76x1RQk1FgHwX3y4giOO">Kilgour</a> joined them on a permanent basis; his replacement in Bailter Space was Brent McLachlan, also the drummer in <a href="spotify:artist:4EEzPpUtk3lfwKmB80ZVoU">the Gordons</a>.

Despite the restoration of <a href="spotify:artist:4EEzPpUtk3lfwKmB80ZVoU">the Gordons</a>' core roster, however, Bailter Space were a clearly distinct entity, their sound more dense and imposing than in their previous incarnation; the trio resurfaced in 1990 with Thermos, mounting a tour of the Northern Hemisphere the following year. An EP, The Aim, appeared in 1992, and in 1993 Bailter Space released Robot World, their most acclaimed outing to date. Their prolific output continued with Vortura (1994) and Wammo (1995) and then slowed down for the last half of the decade, during which the group issued two albums for the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Turnbuckle%22">Turnbuckle</a> label: Capsul (1997) and Solar.3 (1999). In 2004, during a protracted hiatus, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Flying+Nun%22">Flying Nun</a> issued a self-titled compilation. Eight years passed before the band released another album, Strobosphere (<a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Arch+Hill%22">Arch Hill</a>, 2012), followed by Trinine on Great Britain's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Fire+Records%22">Fire Records</a> label in October of 2013. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
