Stadium involves
live drums (with Roto-Toms) played to a backing track of bass synths
and swirling keyboard overlays. Lots of phase-shifting and fuzz-wah envelopes. The synthesizers add a pseduo-shamanistic trippy aspect reminiscent of motorik kraut-rock. The build-ups
of each track invoke large-scale demented-drama. In honour of the prog
end of stadium rock, Druid time signatures are used (eg. 5/4,9/4, etc.).
The
dancers are in the showgirl vein: erotic, mucular, pulsating flames
of flesh.
Philip
is made up as an incarnate sprite of fetid rock: long-haired, white
faced, blackened teeth, glittered chest, and track pants revealing
a modest line of pubic haiir. Tommy Lee doing butoch versions of Carl Palmer covering AC/DC by way of Jeff Mills.
