| The mid eighties
were a funny time for rock 'n roll. The charts may have
been filled with quasi electronic pop but down in the underground
a revolution of sorts was brewing. The US west coast had
chipped in hard with Motley Crue and Guns 'n Roses, whilst
the UK was expanding the envelope of decency with the Cult,
Rogue Male and…Zodiac Mindwarp. The brainchild of front
man Mark Manning, a former music magazine editor, and professional
raconteur, Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction (to give
the project its full name) was designed with one experience
in mind; to make a mint, and live the dream. For a full
five minutes it looked as though Manning might just have
pulled it off if it wasn't for the fact that the public
thought otherwise. 'Tattoed Beat Messiah', originally released
in March 1988, appeared like a lightning bolt out of the
blue. Choc full of low down riffs (courtesy of the wonderfully
monikered Cobalt Stargazer), sleazy grooves, cantankerous
lyrics and a swagger that suggested they'd been working
the circuit for years instead of months, the critics knelt
and kissed the feet of rock 'n roll's latest great deceiver.
'TTBM', even after passage of nearly 20 years, remains one
of rock's most impressive and exciting statements, issued
at a time when everyone seemed to be second guessing where
rock 'n roll was heading. Buckle up and enjoy the ride one
more time. Special Collector's Edition
includes 16 page full colour booklet - Original and enhanced
artwork with new photos and extensive memorabilia with full involvement from the band and Zodiac Mindwarp - also 9 unreleased Bonus tracks and a 4,000 word essay. |
