even though wobble and lydon apparently cant stand keith, he's clearly a genius.

[IntravenousWolf]

complete genius.

[Blink182DudeRanch]

Love it when Keith uses his guitar to change the synth

So cool

[IntravenousWolf]

@massmouth wish there was anything half as cool today

[benjaminrichardshoop]

this is sonic brilliance, I just think the metal box is like being on a mwad psychotic acid trip inside a meatgrinder with someone sticking a soldering iron on your brain. how can that not be one of the best albums of all time??? absoloutely fucking insane

[massmouth]

@IntravenousWolf

so true

[benjaminrichardshoop]

@shonenmouse keith IS a genius

[H71BCD]

Really creative use of a Prophet 5 synthesizer. Dave Smith who operated Sequential Circuits now produces synths under his own name. It was I believe the first synthesizer of that period to have patch memory buttons and it sounds like patches of heavily processed triangular wave forms and white noise triggered from the keyboard.

[FerenswayRecords]

Massively fucking intense. PiL were years ahead of their time.

[jonjuliecat]

the name on the synth - says prophet 5 - means nothing to me .. almost certainly old school analogue .. but what a performance ..

please bring back whistle test BBC - if you do that I might even buy a licence.
