NATASHAS
death disco
before the club, before the cd, there was public image limited's 'death
disco'. this is not a cover version, or a love song.
"death disco was inspired by hazy memories of gary
numan and john foxx. i remember them as a child, thinking only of
them as de-humanised mechanoids (not as real people), offering a dystopian
and horrific view of the future. numan, particularly, in 'down in
the park' singing "oh look there's a rape machine / i'd go outside
if it looked the other way / you wouldn't believe the things they
do" or in 'are friends electric' with his mechanised friend that
had broken down and that he'd "left in the hallway". john
foxx on 'underpass' opened with "standing in the dark / watching
you glow / lifting the receiver / nobody i know". these are the
lyrics that spawned 'death disco', the handjob hand-jive, the bomb-drop
boogie, the suicide salsa and more."
