I'm out for a second, carry on without me, I'll catch up…

Probably about actual Ecstasy.

Vocoder.

It's an instrumental this one I think.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:35 pm

It has a strange, intoxicated, dreamy air about it this one.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:36 pm

Reminds me of Air.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:36 pm

Crikey, remember them!? gasp

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:38 pm

I'm back!

Where was I? 3/4 of the way through of a bit of the old ~~in out action~~ Ultraviolence.

Last track - Leave Me Alone. Colbert

Seems longer than some of the much longer songs.

7: Ecstacy

A cover of the Killing Joke song. yes

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:38 pm

Bouncy.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:39 pm

VOCALS.

SORRY, CAP'S LOCKS ON.

by Nightjar Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:39 pm

For some reason this final song reminds me of the last song on The Madcap Laughs "Late Night".

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:41 pm

Kinda ahead of it's time, but did anything really sound like this again other than the 3rd Bis album?

There's a similar tonal quality and a faintly disturbing sense of disconnection, alienation and sadness. sad yes

This is quietly wonderful.

Not sure that went anywhere, last one: Leave Me Alone

:grumpy:

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:43 pm

It is over.

It felt like a collection of B-sides and bonus tracks. Substance was notable by its absence.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Power, Corruption & Lies or three other things that might make an OK sounding album title but are wittily more rubbish than Power, Corruption & Lies?
