The
theory that
industrial supergroup
Pigface is the veritable
epicenter of the entire music business. Essentially, the members of
Pigface are come from so many different musical backgrounds that one can link any musician,
living or
dead to
Martin Atkins, Pigface's founder and leader, through no more than
6 projects, songs, albums, or tours. This theory is based heavily upon the
6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon (aka The
Kevin Bacon Game) which, in turn is based upon the general theory of the
6 degrees of separation.
Example 1:
1. The
Rolling Stones recorded a song, called "
The Last Time", which was symphonically rearranged and sampled by the
UK band
The Verve and placed into their tune "
Bittersweet Symphony".
2. The producer for that track was
Youth.
3. Youth played
bass and produced tracks for
Killing Joke.
4. Killing Joke in the
90's had a drummer named
Martin Atkins.
5. Martin Atkins is the
founder of Pigface.
Huzzah!
Example 2:
1.
Sarah McLachlan recorded "
Silence" with
Bill Leeb's
ambient dance project
Delerium.
2.
Bill Leeb played keyboards for
Skinny Puppy.
3.
Ogre, Skinny Puppy's frontman, sang with
Pigface.
Example 3: (slightly more ambitious)
1. Country legend
George Jones was married to
Tammy Wynette
2. Tammy Wynette recorded "
Justified and Ancient" with
the KLF.
3. The KLF's
Jimmy Cauty worked with
Dr. Alex Patterson as
The Orb
4. The Orb remixed tracks by
The Damage Manual
5. The Damage Manual's drummer is
Martin Atkins
6. Martin Atkins is the
founder of Pigface.
