The final desolve of Shack led to one of the biggest treasures in the Michael Head catalogue, an album credited to Michael Head and the Strands called The Magical World of the Strands. It is indeed magical, containing some of his most pastoral tracks. Here are a couple of articles from The Guardian that give a flavour of how affecting the album is.
