Moving closer to drum'n bass territory every day actually. Once signed to
Island Records' fringe label Smash, Sheep on Drugs' debut album was very
much into acid house territory, with industrial-tinged vocals and warped
beats. That album, "Greatest Hits," came out in 1993. Later dropped by
Island, Sheep on Drugs was signed by Martin Atkins, and shortly after put
out a compilation of their independent EPs "Suck" and "Strapped for Cash"
on Atkin's Chicago industrial imprint, Invisible. Now a year later, their
new album (out in two weeks) "One for the Money" is a bit of a departure,
jumping full throttle into high-impact drum'n bass. Highlights from the
album include their cover of The Velvet Underground's "Waiting for My Man."
ObInvisible: They just switched distributors, leaving Touch'n Go for
Caroline. There are seven new releases on the label expected in the next
month including some IDM-related works. More info as I get it.
Oh, and for more details on Sheep on Drugs, you can find an article I wrote
on my web page. :) On an additional note, their cover of "Back in Black" by
AC/DC (a sorta self-indulgent trip into dubby electronics) can be found on
Cleopatra's AC/DC Tribute album.
onnow: the cardigans (sheesh, just don't ask me about my musical tastes)
