is industrial space rock hip hop a thing? should it be?
lyrics
"Do you rule money? Or does money rule you?"
Mad props to Mark (Kram Werdna) on the drumming here. We had a bitch of a time getting live drums in sync with the machines -- but when it worked, it rocked your fucking face off.
I think this one really starts to come together around 2:45 or so when we start to get our Hawkwind on. But I think the song's really all about the interplay between the guitar harmonics and the clanks and squealing doors in the opening and closing hooks.
"In God We Make Money"
