I know it sounds like guitar rock but that is no human drummer, that is a Boss DR-55 drum machine named, uh, it says here, "Doktor Avalanche" a bit dramatic, our Andrew

Cabbages and Kings posted:it's the drama I crave, inject it into my veins. Also I did not know that about the DR-55, that's awesome. I haven't listened to SoM in several years, but as soon as I saw the name, "Temple of Love" started blasting through my brain, just like the 80s child who grew up on college radio that I am. That sound and "Nemesis" by Shriekback are forever entwined in my mind as creating a certain feeling of "powerful depression". "Powerful depression" is an apt turn of phrase.  I've been listening to it a lot the last few years as I reflect on how "evil is an exact science, being carefully correctly wrong" has been writ large on the world, and watching my country's actions in the world and thinking...We drink elixirs that we refine From the juices of the dying We are no monsters, we're moral people And yet we have the strength to do this This is the splendor of our achievement Call in the air strike with a poison kiss Your query got me googling and I turned up a couple more hints. More on the Fairlight and subsequent improvements: https://shriekbackmusic.tumblr.com/post/98379158682/the-80s-some-points-to-bear-in-mind More on Nemesis specifically: quote:The music was seamless to the visuals. While “Nemesis” had some of the signatures of the soon-to-be vogue “industrial” — a wall-of-sound synth and a determinedly thumping beat — the song crafted these elements in an altogether different way. Rather than a drum machine, Nemesis relied upon the real-life, oddly-assorted percussion instruments of Martyn Barker. The overarching synth was blended with the killer combo of Carl Marsh’s lead guitar (a sound like Godzilla wails) and the delicious slap-funk base of Dave Allen. Throw into this heady stew the one-and-only oracle voice of Barry Andrews, and you had something approaching alchemy. Source: https://www.popmatters.com/shriekback-and-me-2496165479.html I have to confess I enjoy this cover by the Joy Thieves, which (tragically unlike the original) is on Spotify: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teiAjaP4xVo God is not mocked, he owns our business Karma could take us at any moment Cover him up, I think we're finished You know it's never been so exotic But I don't know, my dreams are visions We could still end up with the great big fishes As an aside, have you considered just writing them and asking? They seem to be Extremely Online, so they might answer random fan questions. Kesper North fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Oct 5, 2022 |
