|
|
surely you must have been confused before you bought the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not quite as much as after listening to the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
either way, you're clearly a confused young man. i recommend horsepills, a brisk walk and a good night's sleep. and forget you ever heard of this siguey group. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
't is impossible. anyone who has seen "Ferris Bueller's day off" will know their music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, are they electronica? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh... i've seen that movie... but i certainly don't remember the music of this band of dapper young androgynes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kind of. lots of keyboards and drummachines. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, i'll bite, what is the song in the movie you liked and how did it differ from the rest of their album? |
||||||||
|
|

my sigue sigue sputnik avatar form this year that unsurprisingly nobody recognised |

they actually had quite a little hit with it in the '80s "love missile F1-11". you're second question confuses me as much as SSS's music does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FUCK I thought I knew him from somewhere! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you want to know? they were the first manufactured pop band and deliberately marketed this way. their whole career was pre-planned. love missile is awesome! and now... i'll hand over to dog_belch to explain everything else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
better question: why does their album confuse you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they also planned to sell-out as quickly as possible, hence the semi-advertisements on the album. and "love missile" is, indeed, awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know.. I guess because it constantly switches between silly, camp, interesting and great. I really like how fragmented it is. even the cd booklet is fragmented. |
||||||||
|

Excellent. I am glad you're enjoying something. You seem especially dyspeptic this week. |

no need to be condescending, Kevin. :( "oh look.. you like something! good work, little fella!" |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
is this the band with the song 'bow bow, chck-chck-chck-a-chck-a...ohhh yeah..."? |

Jesus, that's Xena! |

more like "shoot it up! shoot it u-u-u-u-upp!!" |

yeah, that's his job. |

ha! I had never seen that. :) I kind of left that thread for dead.. |

I thought the word dyspeptic might make you giggle, picturing yourself as Leo McKern or somesuch. |

I had to look it up. and dictionary.com was down. so I had to use yourdictionary.com I don't like yourdictionary.com eventhough overall it's prettier. |

I think it might've been joyrex though.. they probably won't notice until the site goes down again and then I can claim he packed up all his ULTRA-OOP! 12"s and moved to Belgium. this plan is a winner. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't even have to pretend I don't know what ultra-oop is. Because I don't. I can pass a polygraph, urinalysis and a penile plesythmograph on the matter. |
||||||||

I'm sorry, I spoke eBay for a second there, how vulgar. OOP = out of print. the exclamation point is for a cheap whorish effect. |

I actually bought the vinyl when it came out in a kind of faux japanese robot toy packaging box. I'd like the CD really now you mention it. I think all the tracks on this album are HOT, Atari Baby, Massive Retalliation and furthermore, "21st Century Boy" was not a straight copy of the first single "Love Missile F1-11". Did you know David Bowie covered "Love Missile F1-11" for the b-side of his recent "New Killer Star" single? SSS's follow up album was produced by pop production line Stock Aitken and Waterman, with the fairly successful single "Success", which I actually, unsuprisingly, like. Did you know that as well as appearing in Ferris Bueller, the single also appears in film High Fidelity? I think SSS are still going in some capacity, though I recall, despite their claim to be everything technoid and Blade Runnerish, they had the shittest web site ever made. |
||||||||

that packaging sounds great! the cd was 7 euro's, so I thought why not. I did not know this about mr. Bowie. "flaunt it" is produced by Giorgio Moroder, I noticed. I think I even saw a few SSS cd's from 2002 and 2003. it's funny you should say that about their website. they do seem to embrace the idea of cyberpunk, interesting they would be shit in virtual reality. :) |

i haven't heard the album for years! i'll d/l it... |

I just remembered that picture at the top of the thread I had as a poster on my wall. .... *wince* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i remember the rather extravagent vinyl box, but my pocket money didn't stretch far enough to ever purchase it. my wall was too full of sam fox posters *even bigger wince* |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I'm not sure why I gave more room on my wall to men with ladies stockings over their heads than to Sam Fox and Linda Lusardi.... oooooh, thank god you're on only a teenager once. |
