This video was brought to you from Madness Central who have been hosting it on their video player this Halloween Weekend. You can download this rare track from http://www.madness-central.com/downloads/Featured.html It's a rare remnant from the frightening wilderness period of 1989-1990. When there was no Madness! Here is "Make Me Scream" from Suggs. In the last fan club comics of the 80's, there was talk of a ghostly themed album that ultimately never emerged and was never worked on. Beyond the last Madness single of the 80's "Ghost Train" and before "Haunted" made it to Suggs first solo album, betwixt "Make Me Scream" is convincing evidence of these monstrous ideas being thrown around, and also evidence that living in difficult Mad times can make you go a bit insane! Channel X was a Programme offered by alternative remit station Channel 4 in its early days that made pop videos of non-existent songs, an art experiment really. So one night a rare appearance from Suggs popped up on TV, like the ghost of Madness past, an outlet for this one hauntingly-themed song. "Make Me Scream" is a disturbing performance from the Madness frontman. A twisted disembodied Suggs spirit haunts a house and sings of the dark joys of relief from the horror genre. Suggs cites the authors of murder-based thrillers like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" as well classic and modern horror films from "Frankenstein" to George A. Romero zombiefests. It's a chilling tale perfect for this spooky time of year. It's also a bit of laughable 80's TV, too, that visually still can't quite escape nutty flamboyance and now suffers the period-piece dating of early computer graphics. Whether you think Suggs is the Lone Deranged-er here or just gurning a lot, it's an experimental first step towards the idea of Solo Suggs that would come five years later. Enjoy, but try not to have any nightmare, nightmares. Happy Halloween from Madness Central, with huge thanks to Darren Balsdon's haunted loft. (less info)
