Sex Machine
1 hr jamming, 30 mins lyrics brainstorm and 3 months gestation created the “Factory” favourite, pop-pickers. Basic drive created by Strangely during a jam one night using fuzzed LFO-controlled VCA‘d keyboards. After a few minutes Doomage had generated the killer guitar tune to go with it - a work of genius [...]
Jack Throb has worked Harry over a bit for this reprise. The piece is properly tuned (the original was mistakenly recorded with the Tascam varispeed set to minimum so that when mastered at proper speed it played fast). This is (roughly) how it would’ve sounded in the room, and if [...]

Remocarpet
Doomage inspired track based on a repeating C-A-E chord sequence played in 4/4 so that the chords appear to “rotate”.

Doomage creation. Strangely vocals with spooky spoken words added by Doomage
Oh Blasé
Doomage inspired chords and words. Strangely edited words to fit. First played live at an open air gig at Nenthead [...]

Holly created guitar and bass. Bass was played by Doomage on this, Holly guitar. The rinkity-dinkity synth and plain distorted organ solo were added by Strangely with words and the original singing from Haircut. But we got fed up with his singing so Strangely did it, better. Certainly on this one. Gary [...]
As mentioned elsewhere, this was released by Factory Records with their mistaken name of “The Gas Chair”. The band thought they were very clever getting a title as an anagram of the band’s name. There were several and the plan was for each to be used for a different LP release. After [...]

Fuel For The Blonde Ethiopian
Taste Of Honey
A fairly straight rendition of a classic. Loads of 7th’s.
Mummy’s Tummy
Doomage creation with Mackie vocals. I don’t think we ever did it live.
Fast flanged vocals, fuzz bass, large depth VCA’d keyboards. Pretty daft. More a vehicle for Mackie [...]
There’s no order or sense to all this. It’s as it comes. All the music anecdotes are being moved to accompany the tracks as an entity, hopefully making a bit more sense. After that, this page will be repository of stupid things and remarkable feats - in other words, anecdotes, which will be [...]
