William S. Burroughs recites his spoken word over a scathing
industrial soundscape in the
Ministry song of the same name. It can be found on the "
Just One Fix" single/EP.
Al and
Paul's background sonic collage includes
Native American chanting and samples from
Nine Inch Nails' "
Wish" and "
Happiness in Slavery".
Also, I'm glad that Bones transcribed "We are all not that much better than you earthlings" correctly. Nine out of ten Burroughs sites on the Internet say "earth aches". I think they're missing a large percentage of the point. In fact, I think the entire piece fits in better within its native context - "Just One Fix" fleshes it out quite well. It's no accident that Al Jourgensen is considered the WSB of industrial rock.
I love wearing my "Smash the control images. Smash the control machine." T-shirt to class.
The theater is closed.
