Tune of the Week: RevCo

Revolting Cocks is an industrial music super group consisting of members of such acts as Front 242, Ministry, Fini Tribe, Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails. Like most of Al Jourgensen’s projects RevCo devolved in more dumb-rock territory over the years, but their initial tracks are still pretty magical. Alongside Richard23’s vocals and Luc Van Acker’s bass is the sound of the Fairlight CMI sampler. Apparently no one could figure out how to get a sequence of anything over four measures going on the extraordinarlly expensive synth but the results create a hypnotizing drone that keeps you locked in for over ten minutes. Additionally, the three men’s heads used to represent the band are relatives of one of the owners of the label Wax Trax!
