A clear indication of the influence a producer can have on a band, "Electric" was a massive stylistic shift for the Cult under the influence of Rick Rubin, who steered the band away from their gothic and psychedelic influences and towards a more straightahead L.A. hard rock sound-- guitarist Billy Duffy's semi-hollow guitars, laden in effects, so crucial to the sound of the band, were traded in for a Les Paul and a pile of distortion and Ian Astbury's most indulgent swagger and attitude in his vocals were encouraged and suddenly, there was a very different band going under the name The Cult. The band had previously recorded an album (to be titled "Peace") and brought an early version of "Love Removal Machine" to Rubin for remixing. The producer didn't find anything to do with the piece, but saw the same potential the band saw in it and suggested a rerecording-- "Electric" being the product of that suggestion.

  • IF YOU LIKE THIS, listen to " LOVE" released in 1985...so ethereal, you can't stop playing it...ask around! It's more addictive than " the bends" by radiohead!! Maybe for those of us "off" a little bit musically..
