Smith demanded that the election be declared null and void because of widespread intimidation of voters and candidates during the election campaign.

 Ian Smith : Tryst - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
For this album, Irish trumpeter Ian Smith put together an eclectic quintet of improvisers: Brian Godding (guitar synth), Marcio Mattos (bass, cello), then-emerging Mark Sanders (drums, percussion), and Thebe Lipere (percussion).
Smith experimented with various trio and quartet combinations, slipping in a duo with Mattos (the closing number "Tin Foil"), and keeping a solo spot for Godding ("The Laughing Police Force").
Smith's trumpet and flügelhorn playing has been strongly influenced by Bill Dixon: the same fondness for textures, the same use of short, carefully calculated strings of jabbed notes, with occasional sustained tones.
