Crawling Chaos

A frank and proper letter to Strangely from Doomage explaining more of the mysteries both in and behind Crawling Chaos.

Yep. It’s in the title really.
I’ve re-set the comments to appear on (virtually) every page to add a bit more spontaneity. I initially locked stuff down quite brutally after the twit muslims had hacked my site and duffed up some pix. I fixed this almost straight away with heaps of extra security [...]

Cerysmatic has pointed out someone else’s alternative viewpoint to the normal heroic rhetoric being bandied around about the sometime record mogul. This relates to the freedom of Manchester thing, e.g. here. Fair play to John Cooper for publishing the info on his site which, it must be said, normally throws a wholly positive [...]

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

1078-1082
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 [...]

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 [...]

What’s Your Noise

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 [...]
