BLOGLINE ENDEAVOR... Human Surroundings (Control This Joystick)

Human Surroundings (Control This Joystick)


I want to follow your instinct, I want to make you alive...

The count in and the random blips that pound into your brain is what begins the trek as SUB ONE. 'Human Surroundings (Control This Joystick)' was the beginning of what was to become a long lasting relationship with electronic music and the use of synthesizers in my musical ventures.

Comparing the songs of Prismatic to SUB ONE, one thing is clear. There is not so much of an emphasis on lyrical style as what you had with songs like 'Last Hurrah' or 'Crawl (You and Me)'. This is what I considered straight ahead rock and roll with machines. If you were to ask me about some of the lyrical content of early SUB ONE material I would tell you that I wasn't so sure what I was singing about. With SUB ONE, I stripped everything away that I had as Prismatic and with my early works. It was a return to basics so to speak yet there was a new arsenal of equipment at my fingertips.

'Human Surroundings' was also to be included on what was to become my first released demo EP titled POOM! One other song that was recorded during these first sessions was 'Tubes' which didn't see the light of day until about 10 years later for the CD release, Nillum Noom.

Another classic and the very first SUB ONE tune from the SUB ONE archive... 'Human Surroundings (Control This Joystick)'.
