About 'andjuliet':

Nic Cusworth resides and creates in London. Andrea Renee Johnson lives, writes, and performs in San Francisco. The cacophony left behind in the wake of their collaboration can perhaps best be described by Johnson’s words in an upcoming recording. ”…some might call this spillage the poetry of the mad the city reeking of it and food disgusting and decay delicious…” Come. Eat. Enjoy.

High On Hate – 500 Things (1992)

This is one for all those people who remember my music from the Amiga demo scene days (and there are a few). This is a mini-album I put together between 1991-1992. I’ll warn you now that the audio quality of this mp3 is not exactly sparkling. Back then I was using tape to sample from and to record to. This album was finally mastered back to VHS tape of all things. I was literally using anything I could get my hands on.

Tracks:

1: How’s The Stomach Buddy Boy?: Composed in ‘Oktalyzer’ and based around a sample from the Lou Diamond Philips movie ‘The First Power” (!!!!!!). This is a pretty funky industrial dance track. I think the organ sound is probably from a Public Enemy track (lots of things were).

2: Everything Is Under Control: I like this track. Contains lots of samples from the movie “Hardware”. Starts with a Neo-Nazi rant for some reason that I cut up later on in the track. I think I just liked the phrase “these are fucking hippies” since back then I was a hippy. That weird feedback sound is from a Pixies track.

3: The Threat Of Peace: Built around some samples I stole from an episode of ’60 Minutes’. This was actually performed live. I had one Amiga with the drums and noise split into channels on the 4-track’s mixes. The other Amiga held the vocal samples, which I triggered live with one hand while I messed with the faders on the mixer with the other. All very high tech!

4: It was an accident: A filler piece I wrote to fill in the gap while I changed tapes on the 4-track. Should point out that this mini-album was mastered live down to VHS tape. No edits. This was me loading up tracks and cueing tapes live. Good lord!

5: Texas: Worth the download alone. Why? It’s got me ‘singing’ on it. But better than that – it’s got me playing Guitar on it. Probably one of the last times I ever played the guitar. This track was recorded in my Sisters bed-sit in South London where I was sleeping at the time. Was written and recorded in about half and hour. Set up the Amiga to loop a blues-type backing then sang and played improvised guitar live to the backing and recorded whatever came out. I love my guitar solo at the end.

6: Left is Right, Bad is Good, Black is White, In is Out, Upside Down is Right Side Up (This Place Is Going To Hell): I have to credit GGFH for the main sample here. The ‘This Place Is Going To Hell’ is from ‘Hardware’ as are some of the drill sounds. Also got a cut up ‘Bruce Campbell’ scream from ‘Evil Dead’ in there. Some of the percussion is stolen from The The’s ‘Infected’ album. This is probably my fav track on the mini-album. Kind of industrial-dub.

7: Satan: The track that started it all, and one of my most popular tracks. I’ll tell you know, it was actually written as a joke. I went to college with one of the guys from ‘Pitchshifter’ and I was meant to be a piss take of all that early industrial stuff. Hmmmm. Kinda backfired. The main vocal samples are from the trailer to ‘The First Power’ (again). This is a slight remix from the original version and was written while I was still a student in Bristol.

8: Come On God (Answer Me): Based on a Dolph Lundgren sample from ‘The Punisher’ (Dolph is a God!). Listen to that deliver. Sends a shiver up my spine. Dolph is a massively underrated actor in my opinion. Also has (yet another) sample from the movie ‘Hardware’ in there (‘Mark 13’ bible reading or something).

Note: This album was longer. It had a cover version ‘Red Shoes’ by Tom Waits and another track with singing and guitar but for some reason – I can’t find them. Probably for the best.
