A Grunt Machine devoted to a performance from Auckland prog-rock band Ragnarok.

“The only surviving footage of spacey progressive rockers Ragnarok is this studio performance from a mid-70s rock show. This is the band's second incarnation (following the departure of original vocalist [& writer] Lea Maalfrid) and they perform four tracks from their second [and last] album Nooks: 'Five Years', 'Waterfall/Captain Fagg', 'The Volsung' and the disc's title track.”- NZ On Screen; www.nzonscreen.com/title/grunt-machine-ragnarok-1976; retrieved 5/09/2016.

This Ragnarok line-up was: “Ramon York (electric & acoustic guitars, vocals), Ross Muir (bass, synthesizer, vocals), Mark Jayet (drums, bass, acoustic guitar), André Jayet (Mellotron, Moog synthesizer, piano, Hammond, drums).” - New Zealand Music Commission; http://nzmusic.org.nz/artists/rock/ragnarok/; retrieved 5/09/2016.
