hand painted snail with floral Swirl

>Snail also refers to a chess engine; see Snail (chess) as well as a power source for a rotary snowplow. The name snail applies to most members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have coiled shells. Other gastropods, which lack a conspicuous shell, are commonly called slugs, and are scattered throughout groups that primarily include snails. Snails are found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments. While most people are familiar with only terrestrial snails, the majority of snails are not terrestrial. Snails with lungs belong to the group Pulmonata, while those with gills belong to the Paraphyletic group. See more at Wikipedia.org...

were a Sydney, Australia-based indie rock band. They formed around 1990, released three albums: their debut Aurora (around 1991), which was mostly rock with some shoegazer elements (such as extensive use of guitar fuzz and reverb on vocals). Their next album, 1994's The Last Unicorn went further into shoegazing territory, with layered, feedback-washed guitar solos and ambient instrumental tracks between songs; it also featured a guest performance by Lara Goodridge, later of the FourPlay String Quartet, on violin. In subsequent years, Swirl released a few EPs and played live in Sydney, Melbourne and other Australian cities. See more at Wikipedia.org...
