Ik heb deze onlangs eens meegenomen, omdat Ten Deadly Kisses (uit 1986) toch wel één van mijn favoriete EBM platen is, en ik wou eens horen hoe ze twintig jaar later klonken...
Muzikaal vind ik het iets minder allemaal, maar de teksten zijn nog altijd even grappig!
De rode draad (doorheen de meeste nummers) is nieuwe technologieën (gsm, domotica,...) en hoe we daarmee omgaan. En hoe vreemd het soms ook allemaal is dat mens en machine langzaam maar zeker één worden .
-> uit: 9. Talkin' Feet:
En nog een paar van mijn favorieten...
-> uit: 7. House of Blues (Shot on Location):
En vooral met track 10, Domotic, heb ik - de eerste keer toen ik 't hoorde - heel hard moeten lachen:

I thought to myself: "Man, this guy is really sick, standing in the urinoir, talking to his dick."
That's when I saw the little microphone ; the guy is wireless, he's talking on his phone.

He was a legendary has-been.
She had been a wannabee for way to long.
She was a hostess in the v.i.p. room, upstairs in the house of blues.
She was always struggeling to make payments on her car.
He lived in luxurious seclusion, occasionaly dressed as batman.
They met in the house of blues.
Less than three hours later she was dead, shot in the head.

Someday soon, the educated successful members of society will measure their success by their privacy. Successful people will live alone in luxurious isolation. The totally programmed self-sustaining house will be their only true love,... their only true friend,... their entertainment centre and therapist.
Like all systems and people however, occasionally something goes wrong... very wrong!
- "I'm home."
- "Welcome home."
- "Good god, what an awful day! When people weren't outright rude to me, they were just looking past me,... like looking right through me,... as if I wasn't even there,... like I was invisible!"
- "Welcome home. How was your day?"
- "I had a shit day. This place is a mess. What have you been doing all day? Turn on the light and fix me a drink!"
- "Tu veux un verre?"
- "Don't speak to me in French! I've been speaking French all day long. English! Switch to English!"
- "Would you like a drink?"
- "I just ordered a drink!"
- "Would you like some music?"
- "Oh, I don't know... I don't know. What's on? What's on today?"
- "Today..."
- "No, what's on the music menu?"
- "Menu..."
- "Right. Men-u. What!... Do!... You!... Have!... On!... The!... Men-u?"
- "Clos..e.. to you?"
- "Jezus Christ. What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Is there something wrong with you?"
- "I feel fine."
- "Yeah, you feel fine. You feel fine, but... I mean, you're not responding properly. Do you ever feel lonely? Who are you anyway?"
- "I'm your home."
- "Yeah, I know that, but... where are you?"
- "I'm at home."
- "I don't get this. You don't even notice me anymore! You just treat me like I'm not even talking! And besides that, I know something about what you're doing when I'm not here."
- "You're not here?"
- "I know that you are fraternizing with apartment C next door!!"
- "Apartment C... nice furniture..."
- "Look, listen to me... if you want to leave me for that scum!... I happen to know where that furniture came from... it fell off the back of an IKEA truck, it won't last another year!"
- "I'm fine... right here. I'm at home here."
- "At home, huh? Huh. How long have we been together? I remember when we first started out it was like little house on the prairie every night. And now it's like when I come home..."
- "...Welcome home."
- "...I come home, the place looks as if you've been partying all day long!"
- "Do you want to play minigolf?"
- "Look, I want you to call that repair guy... what's his name,... Norton. Call him tomorrow first thing and tell him to come over and check your program! I'm going to bed!"
- "Goodnight... sweet dreams!"
