Richard O’Callaghan (saxophones)

Following several frustrating years trying to get their band Hunger Project off the ground in New York, they relocated to London, England where the band breaks up almost immediately after arriving. Timmins and Anton instead form experimental music act Germinal -- that does not rely on performing live but, rather, on studio recordings.

To launch the band they formed their own label with Geoff Railton and Brett Wickens called Latent Recordings. Germinal would release a cassette in 1983 followed by a full-length LP in 1984. After the demise of the band Timmins and Anton eventually returned to Toronto to form the Cowboy Junkies in the summer of 1985 with Timmins' brothers John and Peter, and sister Margo; Geoff Railton remained in England.
