mutilated lips give a kiss on the wrist - of the worm like tips of tentacles - expanding in my mind



O - you sassy frassy lassie - find me the skull of Haile Selassie - Eye

I'd been searching for orchestrals
to play in the background as I read RI.
Schneidemesser is a good start,
if you sometime want symphonic.

[Allegro]

The Melbourne Symphony orchestra, conducted by
Cezary Skubiszewski, play the Victoria Bitter beer
commercial theme song on bottles of VB.

[Allegro]

In addition to dance of the tesla coils, here’s another version
played on a Glass Armonica that’s a little bit soothing to the ears,
if you’re into that sorta thing, on occasion…

Opening number at the first Madstock festival, their legendary reunion concert on August 8th 1992:

VF: Surely your best festival moment must be at Madstock in Finsbury Park when your fans caused a mini-earthquake, hitting 4.5 on the Richter Scale?

Suggs: That's very true, yeah. It's very high up on my list of favourite achievements. We'd kinda broken up in 1988, for various reasons, primarily because we'd run out of steam and weren't as popular as we were and all the usual sort of things. But then 1992 came and we had a bit of a comeback, our Greatest Hits went to number one and it was mooted that we should do a tour. But I didn't really want to do it. I thought about doing a one off 'thank you very much, great that you still care about us' show. So we met Vince Power (founder of Mean Fiddler) and he had all the fences set up after Fleadh or something and he asked us if we wanted to do a day in Finsbury Park. It was the first time we'd opened a gig with 'One Step Beyond', and it's a fairly up-tempo song, so there were about 45,000 medium-to-large middle- aged men all jumping up and down at the same time.

VF: Could you feel it on the stage?

Suggs: You could, and the whole Richter Scale thing started because a woman in a block of flats opposite felt her sofa moving towards the window. I don't know how they worked it out, are people surveying the surface of the earth at all times? Who knows, but a guy came down the following day and worked it out. Apparently you can judge it from what's still vibrating and they reckoned there's an underground lake under Finsbury Park so the effect of all that dancing was like soldiers marching across the bridge kind of thing, the crowd creating huge waves underground. Whatever, it was an amazing sight seeing all those people going nuts...

An earthquake is erupting,
but not on Orange Street.
