Soap
Snatching Space Spiders
A
song with lots of musical influences, ranging from Thrash to Melodic
Punk, Ska and even with a short Reggae piece. Some people think
it's confusing, though. Suffice it to say that it's no Mainstream
Rock, but it's a hell of an opener.

Mad
Amoeba
Fast
paced fun punk song, again with some humorous lyrics. This time
it's about a bacteriocidal amoeba.

Lollipopper
An
educational 'pop' song about traffic. The style is a bit 80's
Hard Rock. Old-fashioned but with a refreshing touch.

Xenomorph
'99
Somewhat
industrialized remake of a song from our first demotape (1994).
The only song we thought was worth salvaging from that period.
Sounds quite threatening.

Fundamental
Disorder
A
fast paced Hard Rock 'n' Roll song not unlike Motörhead makes
them. The lyrics criticise religious beliefs and how they are
responsible for war and mayhem. This song is from a period where
we thought lyrics could (or should) actually convey messages.
We've become wiser now.

A2

Tears
Soft
instrumental song. Only clean guitars and a soft organ sound.

Alice
Yes,
a metallized cover from The Sisters Of Mercy's famous hit. Check
it out and be amazed (or disgusted)! Our version of the song also
proves that recording technology has progressed a lot since the
time of The Sisters. The version we recorded with our own portable
studio actually has LESS hiss and rumble than the original version.

Sesame
Seed
Humorous
intermezzo (1,5 minutes) and not at all representative for the
rest of the CD. It's a children's song parody entirely done on
a cheap Casio keyboard and with funny vocals added for good measure.
Pay close attention to the ludicrous keyboardsolo (because, honestly,
foob can't play keyboards) and the silly laughter in the middle.
You'll either love it or hate it.

Doctor's
orders
Not
a song. Just the (silly) spoken intro of Beauty Parlour.

D3
|
Beauty
Parlour
A
slow Thrash Metal song.
|

A2

Laryngospasm
Heavy
Industrial song which we recorded once because we still hade some
place left on side B of our second demotape. The song received
such a good response, that we decided to include it on the CD
as well.
|
| 10.
D3
|
Our
Separate Ways
Fast
paced Heavy Metal.
|
| 11.
A2
|
Kill
Skill
D.R.I.-like
burst of speed (1 minute in length). Speedcore, or whatever you
might call it. Sounds rather intense.
|

D3

Going
Down
Uptempo
Rock with Wave guitar melody.
|

A1
|
Battering
Ram
The
first song we ever wrote (still with Cisse in our ranks) and recorded!
We threw away almost everything from the early period, but by
popular demand of just about everyone who knew us personally we
decided to include this song on the CD anyway. It has about the
same quality and good taste as your average porn flick, but we
must agree (in retrospect) that it has certain qualities (just
listen to the well thought over lyrics for one). We only cleaned
up the old recording a bit. The unlucky ones who own our first
demotape (which rightfully received very negative reviews)
might hear the difference.

An
Early Death
Something
we simply recorded (using guitars with huge delays, dark vocals
and a small, very thin sounding rhythm box) without a plan or
song structure in mind. Became quite an atmospheric and interesting
piece all by itself. We had nothing to do with it. The Lyrics
are from an old English poem.
