The Butcher Says..
This was a real "band" album by a touring unit which
had become really quite ferocious. In choosing to work
with
John A. Rivers
again we felt that we were sufficiently
noisy and fierce to cope with any over- tidy production
strokes he might pull. "Clean *that* up, then, ya bastard"
was out declared policy in the group.
Of course, we under-rated him.I wanted to start to mess
with the pretty traditional song structures we were using.
We were all aware that music was changing, and, more
out of interest than out of any spurious "career" concern,
we wanted to see where we could take our pop songs using
things like breakdowns, the mixing in of "found" voices
(which we first heard NOT from Steinski or the Bryne/Brian Eno
collaboration, but from John Stapleton, a DJ who scratched
things in at early The Blue Aeroplanes, radical and unexpected changes
of sounds - a series of sonic events rather than plain
old verse/chorus structure. I probably did too much
pre-production on my (new) 4-track at home, and the whole
thing sounds a bit stillborn.
