Ah, 20 Jazz Funk Greats, with the deliberately cheesy cover that could pass for one of those shonky 70's compilations. But look closer. The photo is of Beachy Head, the UK's number one suicide spot, where people have been doing concrete trampolines from the 300ft cliffs for centuries. Now flip the cover over - there seems to be a decomposing corpse on the floor in front of our heroes... could it be real? Who knows? And, of course,their motto was: 'Entertainment Through Pain' Oh, yes. :D
@brianartillery Hi, can you still get the cover which feature's the dead corpse on please? and was it only on the vinyl or can you still get the cover on compact disc? thank you.
@jameyinegypt Hello. The 'Corpse' cover was on the last CD copy of '20 Jazz Funk Greats' that I owned a few years ago. Thankfully, here in the UK, TG records [at least their classics], are distributed by the god-like Mute Records [although they are owned by the satanic EMI], and Mute have kept all the packaging completely correct, even down to the queasy 'Little Girl' sleeve of their second album. So, yes, the corpse should still be there.
@jameyinegypt Yeah, they built all their own equipment. You should read the excellent post-punk book "Rip It Up and Start Again," for a more in-depth analysis of their "musical approach."
I think I understand the title, still walking refers to the fact that you made past the first to tracks and didn't go back to listening to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer like you were before.
oh aemetic!

Industrial music (all kinds, even post-indus) are about using your imagination. You can get ideas and inspiration this way to music.

How do they make that drum sound? What do they use?

A dark cousin of B. Eno's Another Green World. Like AGW way ahead of its time.

Feels like the rhythmic elements to the song are spiralling and darting around your brain when you listen to it with headphones.

Bear in mind that these sounds were all made by hand; not computers, sequencers, and samplers. Boggles the mind.

@horseloverfatjr Seriously?! i imagine keyboard's were the main instrument used here. Experimental meet's industrial.
