专辑介绍

by Ned Raggett

Compiled for Australian release, What Remains Inside a Black Hole pulls together a slew of tracks that originally appeared on singles to give a great portrait of the fearsome foursome from its early nineties surf-rock-in-space heyday. It's as reasonable a starting place for the neophyte as any - while not a greatest hits per se, it's got enough energy to burn along with plenty of requisite humor. That naturally comes from the song titles first and foremost - thus, &The Universe's Only Intergalactic Radioactive Breakfast Bar,& &War of the Satellites& and &Within a Martian Heart.& Then there's such things as &Squad Car,& arguably the world's only surf salute to policemen, the poignant celebration of a glam rock myth - sort of - with &Adios Johnny Bravo& and &Caffeine Trip& - who needs the terror of Reefer Madness when the dangers of too much coffee are so graphically illustrated? Anyone wanting a sense of where tremolo mania relocated in the nineties just needs to give an ear to such wonderful, screaming-release songs as &Eric Estrotica (Live in Space)& (complete with some monster stomp drum breaks that most metalheads would kill to have) to know that Jimi Hendrix got one thing wrong - the world would hear surf music again. It's just that this time around there'd be more science fiction B-movie references and samples in the mix to satisfy Ed Wood fans as much as Dick Dale ones (the unaccompanied exchange of dialogue about mutated fish that starts &Surf Terror& in particular is a highlight). Many tracks - but not all - were reissued in America on the Beyond the Black Hole album, making this album still a worthy purchase; goofy liner notes about 'free floating sonic satellites' and 'aiming gratitude beams' at worthy folks certainly don't hurt the sense of fun.
