Their early recordings, all made quickly, were heavily influenced by free jazz and krautrock and were generally considered industrial music, despite the objections of the group.
By 1981, only Stapleton was left from the original trio and he now regards 1982's "Homotopy To Marie", as being the first proper Nurse With Wound release. There are now over 30 full length NWW titles.
Many early albums have been reissued by the french label Rotorelief.
Stapleton's fondness for dada, surrealism and absurdist humor are demonstrated in much of NWW's output, which, though it draws directly on nearly every musical genre imaginable (from cabaret music to nursery rhymes to John Cage to The Beach Boys to krautrock to pop music to ambient music and Captain Beefheart) retains a distinctive and recognizable aura.
Musique concrete may be the most prominent touchstone, due to Stapleton's frequent – and often humorous – use of creative tape loops and editing. Athough NWW has a long and illustrious list of collaborators (most notably David Tibet of Current 93), at time of writing, NWW is effectively a duo of Stapleton and Colin Potter, the latter having first worked with NWW on 1992's "Thunder Perfect Mind" when it was recorded at Potter's ICR studio.
Those interested in learning more should research the 'infamous' Nurse With Wound list" (see also the Nurse With Wound list tag on Last.fm). It is a list of band names of NWW's obscure influences and it has become a kind of guide for those seeking fringe music of all kinds.

I have never found anything from Nurse With Wound to be "creepy". It makes me want to giggle and laugh. Mr. Stapleton has a wonderful sense of humor that comes through his music. (I remember seeing him, at a performance I saw him at, he started throwing rubber bouncing balls out and asked the audience to keep them going throughout a section of the performance (on the wood floors, they formed the "rythmn" for the track) I wish I could afford to actually buy all his stuff!

“The Last Theft” & “Club of the Laid Off” are two of my favorite animated shorts. Barta is indeed up there with masters like Svankmajer, Quay Brothers, K. Yamamura etc.. Anyhow nicely done, it’s great fun to experience NWW paired with these gems :)
