Raised By Wolves, a unique performance collaboration by Handspan Visual Theatre, Shinjuku Thief and Regurgitator, premiered as part of the 1997 Melbourne International Festival in the massive shed 14 at Victoria docks. The hour long event, an epic visual and aural collage about living in a culture of gross consumption, deals with the decline of civilisation and culture and asks the question "What is the best kind of life for human beings?" The title refers to the struggle of a new generation attempting to maintain their integrity as they try to breathe life into a dying civilisation.

The complete soundtrack, of which this recording forms a part, featured Regurgitator playing live as well as the mysterious appearance of a man playing cocktail classics on the sax.
