This video is fantastic, but it's a bit ludicrous to suggest that Nick Cave got his idea about sound suits from this collective rather than to acknowledge the fact that Forcefield is appropriating rituals that are uncannily similar to those one might find in west Africa - a more likely source for Cave's inspiration - as well as Picasso's cubist paintings.......

I tend to believe that this is where Nick Cave got his idea for soundsuits. He stole it from Forcefield. Even the performance aspect of his suits. Proud to say I have seen these in their natural environment: 75 Eagle Sq. Providence.

I have this vhs. Miss those days. Wish I could go to the fort and walk through the fridge again and stare at all those bicycle parts in the entrance.

bootlegging is a nice gift for those of us too far from the original :)

@ltgreatsocks

If that's the case, any advice on where I can buy some, or some personal recommendations?

There's nothing to understand, trust me. In many videos like this there ARE things to understand, but not this one.

This is what drugs do to your brains kids.
