worked together on a studio project they called Sylvia Darling, culminating in the release of the album-length cassette Sand Dancing (1988) on Office Records. This collaboration lasted until 1989, when Strell left Champaign to move to New York City. Meanwhile, fellow ¡Ack-Ack! alumni Henry Frayne, Lynn Canfield and Brendan Gamble formed The Moon Seven Times (M7X), whose debut CD release on Third Mind Records featured Joe Strell on bass on the track "Rise", as well as a credit for "train sounds and glasses". Henry Frayne later went on to form his own musical project Lanterna, while Lynn Canfield and Brendan Gamble created Shotgun Wedding. Solo career After leaving New York in May 1995, Strell moved to San Francisco where he re-established the Dansbane Elandet recording studio and record label, on which he has released a number of solo albums. Joe Strell is still active .
