The Golden Palominos was headed by drummer, producer, arranger, and composer Anton Fier. Aside from Fier, only bassist Bill Laswell and guitarist Nicky Skopelitis appeared on every album through 1996 — the rest of the lineup was more ‘revolving doors’ style, and many various guests appeared on individual tracks.

These folks participated on the first album: Michael Beinhorn (member of Material with Laswell at the time), Fred Frith, Thi-Linh Le, Arto Lindsay (very involved in the no-wave scene, and a member of John Lurie's The Lounge Lizards), Mark E. Miller, David Moss, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Roger Trilling, John Zorn.

On the next album ‘Visions of Excess’ the band moved to a more straightforward alt-rock / post-punk style with very 80s sound, but quite warm — largely thanks to Laswell's deep and mellow bass, and Fier's production being similar to that of Material.
