Relic Track By Track part 4 - 20 GOTO 10

20 GOTO 10

Old computer games.

The 80s.

The title is a reference to the old BASIC programming language. the program might be something along the lines of:

10 PRINT "Matt is skill"

20 GOTO 10

Then the screen would fill up with:

Matt is skill

Matt is skill

Matt is skill

Matt is skill

Matt is skill

Matt is skill

etc

The trick was to get into Dixons, type it in then leaving it running. Often the kids would type something less polite.

This one is rather 80's Crimson with a pop Bob Mould/Johnny Marr type chorus and some lovely drum/percussion programming from Kev. The effect on the start and end is a bit crusher. When we sent the CDs for duplication they phoned me up to say there was a problem and that they were all distorting, in the end we found out that this track was responsible. I had to explain it was a deliberate effect.
