	The Caterpillar Club information for World War II Prisoners of war
		This world-wide club is for aviators, military and commercial, who have saved their lives with a parachute in an emergency.

		The only requirement for membership in the select club is that the applicant must have bailed out under emergency conditions, and furnished written confirmation from witnesses, such as commanding officers or adjutants, that the jump was a genuine emergency bail out.

		On their first LP, this fine Toronto septet — a soulful, low-tech match for labelmates M+M — displays a strong rhythmic consciousness (timbales and congas rather than synth thwack).
		Boasting a phenomenal singer (Lorraine Segato) and produced on the first LP by M+M/Eno collaborator Daniel Lanois, the Club gets positively inspirational on the joyous "Rise Up," while also addressing specific topics like nuclear war, sexism and hunger with intelligent lyrics and inventive, colorful music.
		John Oates produced Small Victories, pushing the Parachute Club further towards a slick, unstylish mainstream sound.
