A Million Angels

[TofuArsenal]

I could be mistaken, but I think the TV Evangelist is Kenneth Copeland.

[LesDEDS]

ghetto shit!

go play some guitars!

...

just kiddin´

[qone1200]

wow this is amazing. more music like thispls

[musicdrunkie]

can't believe this existed back in 83

[TheCubanAssassin]

Great guitar in this track. Was it Simon Insect-o-Cutor's work?

That said, just who was Simon Insect-O-Cutor, and why did his contributions stop at Big Bigot?

[TomEllard]

@TheCubanAssassin Yes. He was Simon Insectocutor. He died.

[burntbricks]

@TheCubanAssassin i love the guitar



[SknkH0electro]

Tom I love you. This song is so beautiful and haunting.

[chube1]

Tom..........I sense that you responded in writing (with a coupe of bits and bobs - flyers etc included) to some Irish bloke's unsolicited letter to you in-or-around the mid-late 80s. Twas around the time of Dead Eyes Opened which had been played by John Peel. ...............

Cheers Tom! hope you're as unhinged as your music suggests. (no offense).

[minstralwinds]

Saw these guys in Detroit back in 85.....They opened for Skinny Puppy. I will tell ya this....Severed Heads were awesome!!!

[TomEllard]

@minstralwinds And then they all died in that horrible tractor accident.

[minstralwinds]

@TomEllard who died??

[TomEllard]

@minstralwinds I did.

[newaver64]

@TomEllard then came since the accident.

[neonservice]

Jesus fucking christ that was damn amazing...........

[newaver64]

convert a blubber knife..today!

[newaver64]

@newaver64 wtf does that mean.

[diskochimp]

Godalmighty, this still sounds FANTASTIC...

I've only just realised that it sounds exactly like Boards Of Canada, albeit 15+ years too early! Nice precog, Tom...

[TomEllard]

@diskochimp However BOC strive to be 15 years ago so that's not too surprising.

[diskochimp]

@TomEllard Hmm, some faultless lateral thinking there...!

[KINZOisHERE]

never heard about this before, shame on me, what a piece of history

thanks for posting

[darinnear]

It is just comforting.

[windean13]

Jesus is coming at from all directions today! God love him! he he

[lightspeedrecordings]

Seeing Severed Heads perform at The Punters Club is one of the highlights of my gigging career <3

[PlanetBongoSan]

this is amazing, real techhead history, thanks a million for putting this up :)

[Eleni999]

glad to see those videos. A concert in Zürich (together with à;Grumh and Skinny Puppy) was a milestone to me as I saw for the first time those videos together with the music. It influenced me quite a bit.

[mellisb]

Dearest Tom.

I am pregnant....

It's yours

[Hogaday]

First heard "Since the Accident" back in '89 ( bootleg , no track listing ) it has stayed with me ever since , haunting my very soul. Timeless!

[damnote]

Such a messed up song...I love it. You know when people have all this equipment in the 80's they started crap like Decephe Mode....but Severed Heads created art!

[mellisb]

Danger...

Clifford Ahead

[tomy242]

i heard propellor at the end..pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee post it, thanks it's part of my life

[bootray]

Tom must have cut this vid from a block of SevHed videos.

[oite0207]

Hi, I am looking to buy "Since the Accident"

"City Slab Horror" and "The Big Bigot" on cd,

can anybody help, I live in London, happy to

send cash by post, I really miss these releases.

[minstralwinds]

I have "Since the Accident" on vinyl but it is Michigan and I am in Washington State. When I get back home I am looking to put some of my old vinyl onto CD because I can't find them either and would be willing to have one burnt for you. That album is great btw.....

[vuzh]

Can't go wrong with Kenneth Copeland!

Is that a C64 background?

[TomEllard]

It's a home built video synthesiser.

[METEKTHEONE]

let me throw me on my knees !!

[Emutronix]

I know that there are power circles in Paris.

[justiceleague3000]

And the ant can see legs.

[wagsouza]

Fuck the preachers!!!

[TomEllard]

This video is available as a higher quality QuickTime using the bookmarklet hack.

[walter232221]

I watched this, on some video compilation along with such fun stuff as Harold & Cindy Hospital, with friends I no longer talk to, a billion and a half years ago. I watched it a second time on a TV screen at a nightclub, without the sound. This is my third viewing. Glad to have had it, same goes for Harold & Cindy :)

[banffspring72]

MHTRTC does seem to be residual from source.

[banffspring72]

great sound, thanks for this.

[sevhead]

'Since The Accident' is one of my favourite albums of all time...

[michaelcoyote]

Clifford darling, Please don't live in the past...

[sevhead]

I tend to live in the past because most of my life is there.

[DungeonStudio]

Nice stuff. Now does CVI stand for 'Computer Video Interface'? I know the Fairlight CMI was a brilliant mamooth bitch for the likes of Yello and Kate Bush and all. But this CVI business is new to me? My Life In The Bush Of Eno's LOL.

[nobunnyatall]

computer video instrument

[bunnyprofane]

This is just beautiful. 1990's, pre-marriage, innocent, pre-acid gorgeous.

[AllMyVideosAreGone]

Oh my god! It's Centipede! ^_^

[TomEllard]

Hah! Not THAT good.

[Faltydl]

Nice.

[FlappyDraws]

Hey, boards of canada nicked their sound off you!

[queerchoreography]

Yeah, Boards are NO Severed Heads!

[mandrake3k]

I still can't get over this stuff.

[Elgrandeshit]

Damn this brings back memories! I had this album - once. Can't remember what it was called? It had "The Ant Can See legs" on it too. Wow! After 20 it still kicks...

[howardAmb]

Ellard knows what to do....GENIUS!!!

[Tangento]

One of my favorite Sevs tracks ever. It haunts me deeply; after 20+ years, the effect has never worn thin.

[ResidentMich]

I once met a man with a beard whos favourite band was Severed Heads. This was in a queue for a club in Manchester around 1997. We got on like salt and vinegar......I never saw him again. I hope he still lives and enjoys........;o)

[eartopsy]

The video is great but the song is what makes it. Sev's rule!

[bunnyprofane]

I like Simon Insect-O-Cuter's guitar.

[em23]

thank you tom!

[AliaK77]

brilliant! thanks for recording this back then - it's great to be able to watch them

[TheJoyofSOF]

wow - I bought a video which had this on it about 20 years ago - classic.

[celshader]

I love these old clips. They have a raw electronic aesthetic that is hard to recreate with modern tools.

[mcasual]

that preacher really makes large movements, i thought it was David Bowie for a minute :)

[aliasfreq]

Love.
