The group went into hiatus for about a year. The Makers of the Dead Travel Fast returned to the recording studio in 1983 to work on their second album, Zoom Is Less than Man (styled as Zoom < Man). They disbanded by the end of that year. Shane Fahey later joined Scattered Order. A retrospective compilation, by the group, G'arage D'Or, was released on the Extreme label in 1991. On 2 February 2002, Howlspace's Ed Nimmervoll listed the various artists' compilation, Can't Stop It: Australian Post-Punk 1978-82 on Chapter Records CD, as album of the week, saying that post punk "...was a unique period of Australian music then, and now, one we'll probably never see again." The album includes the band's track, "The Dumb Waiters", which was the B-side of "Tael of the Saeghors". In May–June 2009 M Squared released a vinyl set, M Squared – Pardon Me for Barging in Like This, which included the band's "Style Noodle" on the third LP. In January 2010 Ascension Records reissued the band's music on disk two of a commemorative compilation CD, Terrace Industry (ANCD036), along with bands such as Scattered Order, Systematics, A Cloakroom Assembly and Prod. In 2011 Ascension released another compilation, 41 Pardons, which also includes six songs from the band.
