This is a great album!
Cast your mind back if you can. It’s 1993. Bush Sr. is in the White House. America recently finished the first Gulf War. MTV still plays music videos. Industrial metal is just breaking into the mainstream with bands like Ministry and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. This is the first industrial metal music video that I’d ever seen and it still makes an impression on me to this day.

That’s a great album. I have a lot of Beach Boys on vinyl, including that one. You have everything from great vocals to the Electro-Theremin.
Looking that up led me to finding out more about the real Theremin, a rather interesting story.
Just because, well I was listening to something suggested in the classical thread by the Academy of St Martins in the Field, and and and I had the Hive’s on, and well, I’m not always highbrow. or serious.
Avant garde folk/indie rock/rap. other genres artist Bartees Strange just released his mind bending debut studio album. Vibes of The National and TV on the Radio are fairly strong here, so if you like them, you’ll probably love this. Highly recommended.
Random fact…Legs Larry Smith attended my and my now ex’s wedding and we went to his wedding reception too…what a rock n roll lifestyle we led…not lol.
That’s awesome! And random too.
@AudioTool - is that video from '93?!?
Absolutely! Is that surprising?
@AudioTool - Very! Looks more like after effects from within the last 10-20 years or so.
I remember they had that very distinctive style on all their album covers and posters.
And I swore My Life with the Thirll Kill Kult was on the Kalifornia soundtrack, had that cd - but looked it up and not listed. (Like the Berenstein Bears thing?)
@pennstac - That’s how Bob Moog got his start - making theremins!
Saw her if I recall correctly on her Little Earthquakes tour 1992 at the Shaw Theatre London, brilliant live
