live recordings would end up as the 4th disc of the box set Dr. Cholmondley Repents (2022). The incarnation of the band that recorded Cult of the Basement had been together for some time and just finished a lengthy tour. Some songs which would appear on the album, such as "Girl Go" and "Mr. Odd" had been road-tested, others such as "She's on Drugs" and "Sister Death" existed in demo form, and much of the rest of the album was developed out of band improvisation. The result was an album that was more "sprawling" stylistically. Fish commented "I feel it's the first time we captured the true sound of the band". "She's on Drugs" enjoyed airplay on college radio, and a video for "Girl-Go" aired on MTV's alternative music showcase '120 minutes' in America. "Girl-Go", which makes musical and lyrical reference to The Perfect Disaster's "All the Stars", was released as a single. The b-side, "Excellent", would mark the last time O'Callahan would play with the band. He died of a brain tumor in 1993. 1991 saw the release of the eponymous album by Black Eg. Credited to the fictional Von Dämmerung brothers, it was an album of ambient dance music built around synthesizers and samples. The Black Eg themselves made their live debut on 1 June 1994 at Soundshaft in London. The band toured to promote Cult of the Basement, first in Europe, followed by a US tour with the Blue Aeroplanes, where they alternated as opener/headliner city by city.

Much of the next album, Condition Blue, would deal with darker subject matter; a reflection of Fish's own mental state at the time. According to Fish, "I'm still well pleased with it as a recording, and as a piece of writing about a tough subject. I mean, *I* hate "divorce rock" too." The "Basement" incarnation of the band had gone their separate ways after the Blue Aeroplanes tour, so once again, Fish found himself re-building his band. The basic tracks were recorded by Fish, Mulreany on drums, Alex Lee on guitar and Joe Allen on Bass. A slew of contributors old and new came in to play on the record, including Formby, O'Keefe and Green; Glass era drummer Owen Jones; Peter Astor, Sumishta Brahm, and Peter Crouch among others. Two singles emerged from the album, "She's
