I put some stuff into the song that anybody can relate to. But in the end Bob looked through it and re-did the whole song. "It had mine and Ian Hunter's lyrics originally. There will be no ugly girls in my high school". There will be no costumes at our swimming pool. "I tell the little buggers what to wear, I show them how to set and dye their hair. It's about this dude, who thinks "why the hell should I sit in school and study, because the system is a piece of shit". What do you do? Quit high school just to queue in unemployment line. "Or like 'Quit High School', like it was originally called. The recordings for the album were already over, but I called Bob and he came over to London, where we recorded the song." After a few gigs, we decided that we want it on an LP. We played it and it sounded fucking good. Then one time at rehearsals we were jamming and I remembered it from Nasse's tape. The song "Futurama" was later covered by the band Bang Tango.Īndy McCoy's comments on the songs from a 1984 issue of Suosikki. The line " Welcome to the Jungle" featured in the song "Underwater World" arguably inspired the long time Hanoi Rocks-admirer Axl Rose to write the eponymous song for Guns N' Roses, due to its similar tone and similar use of fifths (power chords). Following drummer Razzle's death, the group canceled their concert dates and eventually broke up, while on the verge of an international breakthrough. While touring to promote the album, Hanoi Rocks rose to fame in Japan even more and had two sold-out concerts in New York City. Still, Two Steps from the Move is often considered as a glam rock/ hard rock classic. The album also gave Hanoi Rocks their first gold record in Finland, but not until 1986 after the group had already disbanded. Two Steps from the Move was Hanoi Rocks' biggest hit when it was released, reaching number 28 on the UK Album Charts and the singles "Up Around The Bend" and "Don't You Ever Leave Me" also rose up the singles charts. The song was later released on The Best of Hanoi Rocks compilation, and appears as a bonus track on this albums reissue. There was also supposed to be a title-track, but according to Razzle it was replaced with "Up Around the Bend". A music video was also made for "Don't You Ever Leave Me", but the song differs from the album version as it's shorter, has a different guitar-solo and only features Razzle's spoken words in the middle. A music video was also made for "Up Around The Bend", which received much airplay on MTV. The album also features some of Hanoi Rocks' biggest hits, like " Up Around The Bend", " Underwater World", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Million Miles Away" and " Don't You Ever Leave Me". Ezrin knew that a more hard rock-style would sell more units in the United States. Ezrin wanted the album to have a heavier atmosphere and darker guitar playing than the band's previous efforts, still keeping it melodic and punky, and he also worked on the writing of almost every song on the album. The album's producer, Bob Ezrin had previously worked with big-name artists like Pink Floyd, Kiss and Alice Cooper, which was one of the main reasons Hanoi Rocks' wanted him to produce the album. Andy McCoy and Nasty Suicide later used the name as the name of their album, when they worked under the moniker " The Suicide Twins". Originally the album was supposed to be called Silver Missiles And Nightingales, but the name was changed at the last minute. This is their last album to feature drummer Razzle, before he was killed in a car accident on 8 December 1984.īefore this album, all of Hanoi Rocks' albums were released on Lick Records and Johanna Kustannus, but this was the band's first album on a major label, CBS. Two Steps from the Move is the fifth studio album by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, released in 1984.

6/30/2023 0 Comments Formation modul8Creating something truly site specific still takes a lot of work, and that is true in most cases anyway, the MadMapper does allow for a more spontaneous mode of exploring this fast growing area of projection art. The point best illustrated in this article is how easy it is to create mappings with the MadMapper while using your existing content within Modul8. The sofware has allowed us to very well integrated in the place visuals not created especially for this event. The result was artistically very interesting and surprising. Without MadMapper it it would have been very hard to do that as quickly and efficiently. To successfully integrate video into the place, we needed to map these tiles to create a kind of “video mosaic.” MadMapper helped us to quickly create this mosaic, correct the distortions of perspective, and make different presets of tiles. Legoman: The ceiling was composed of square tiles. Therefore we chose to project onto the ceiling with 2 wery wide angle projectors placed on the ground. The idea was to find a easy way to integrate video into the site without needing a complicated and expensive technical system. The evening was organized in a train station without any infrastructure for video, nothing to hang something from the ceiling and without a big budget. Legoman: It was just a small unpretentious VJset. Md8: What what ideas you were trying to explore with the project? Seasoned projection artist Legoman, known for his layering of screens and collaborations with AntiVJ is one of the fortunate few who has had access to testing early alpha versions of MadMapper.Īfter receiving these images interviewed him briefly about his experience using the MadMapper in relation the the images. My preferred way of doing this is using Pocket – with a simple click on the bookmarklet, you can add videos, news articles, blog posts, and pretty much anything to Pocket for future viewing and/or reading. The solution is very simple: bookmark it. So what do you do? You don’t want to miss out on the interesting and informative content others are posting, but you’ll most likely forget to look for it later. But I have to tell you – I put this theory to the test, and it worked. When I read his article, the first thing that popped into my mind was “Two tabs? Impossible!”. This rule is founded on the principle that the majority of people can remember 5-8 pieces of information without taking a toll on their cognitive capacity. Point blank: wildfire has nothing on tabs when it comes to how fast it spreads.Ĭharlie Gilkey from Productive Flourishing suggests following “The Two-Tab Rule” for maximum focus and creativity. The problem that arises with this approach is that the more tabs you have open, the more likely you are going to click on them – first you start reading one blog post, which then directs you to another blog post, which directs you to a Youtube link, and before you know it you’ve added three more tabs to the six you had before. It is so easy to scroll through your Twitter feed, come across six interesting links, and open each of them in a different tab to read later. Tabs are arguably the number one cause of distraction. So, after much trial and error, I discovered a few tips and tricks to help avoid the “Social Media Time Trap”.
