Hello, still under upload stress, no idea what is going on, slow speeds and connection dropped, getting thisfar was a frustrating effort but here it is. Meanwhile Mrs May reaped what she's sown, a thunderous defeat of her Brexit plan. No deal brexit is looming large, because the EU will only extend if either there's a new election or a new referendum.
Today's artists are an English gothic rock band, formed in London, England in 1982. The current lineup of the band consists of Nik Fiend and Mrs. Fiend. The band became known in the gothic scene for its dark, electronic industrial-leaning sound, heavy samples, loops, dub remixes and manic vocals. Five of the group's albums and 12 of their singles reached top 20 positions in the UK charts in the period up to 1987.. ......N'Joy

One of the earliest groups to be labeled goth rock, Alien Sex Fiend are among the genre's most theatrical acts. They're also one of its most humorous, preferring a campy B-movie aesthetic to the dourness or morbidity of many of their peers. Heavily influenced by the Cramps, Alice Cooper, glam rock, punk, and psychedelia, the group's performances are ghoulish spectacles, and their boundlessly creative music combines heavy electronic beats and noisy guitars with warped, dubby effects and samples. Alternately referred to as goth, deathrock, post-punk, or industrial, ASF are ultimately a category unto themselves. The group was highly prolific throughout the '80s, releasing fan-favorite full-lengths such as Acid Bath (1984) and "It" the Album (1986), in addition to numerous remix-filled singles and EPs, showcasing the group's penchant for experimentation. ASF incorporated several electronic dance music styles into their sound before other goth and industrial acts did; the 1989 single "Haunted House" lived up to its name, while the group embraced techno and trance on '90s releases such as Inferno (The Odyssey Continues) (1994). In the 21st century, albums such as Information Overload (2004) and Possessed (2018) have even worked in traces of dancehall and drum'n'bass.
Alien Sex Fiend's origins lie in the Batcave, an influential London club acknowledged as the birthplace of goth culture. Nick Wade, who worked at the Batcave, dubbed himself Nik Fiend and founded the band in 1982, along with his wife Christine Wade (aka Mrs. Fiend), who played synth, as well as guitarist Yaxi Highrizer (born David James) and drummer Johnny "Ha Ha" Freshwater. Prior to forming ASF, Wade had previously been a member of the punk band Demon Preacher as well as Alice Cooper-inspired groups the Earwigs and Mr. & Mrs. Demeanour.
Following some obscure early cassettes, Alien Sex Fiend made their proper debut with the 1983 single "Ignore the Machine," a favorite among goth club denizens; this preceded the full-length Who's Been Sleeping in My Brain? A series of indie chart hits followed in 1984, including "R.I.P.," "Dead and Buried," and "E.S.T. (Trip to the Moon)" (the world's first 11" single). The success of the album Acid Bath further increased the group's visibility, and Alien Sex Fiend became major stars in Japan, resulting in the 1985 live release Liquid Head in Tokyo.
Following the departure of Johnny Ha Ha, the group continued as a trio to record 1985's bleak Maximum Security. After the following year's "It" the Album, released to coincide with Alien Sex Fiend's opening slot on Alice Cooper's Nightmare Returns tour, they recorded 1987's Here Cum Germs, the final offer to feature Yaxi Highrizer. Now essentially a duo, the Fiends explored more synth- and sample-oriented territory on 1988's Another Planet, a trend continued on 1990's Curse, which featured the minor hit "Now I'm Feeling Zombified."
With a revitalized lineup including new guitarist Rat Fink Jr. and keyboardist Doc Milton, Alien Sex Fiend resurfaced in 1992 with Open Head Surgery. After a 1993 live album, Altered States of America, ASF (back to being the duo of Nik and Mrs. Fiend) composed the music for the CD-ROM game Inferno. Released as Inferno (The Odyssey Continues), the album was a venture into instrumental electronic music. With the release of the compilation The Singles 1983-1995, the band's affiliation with longtime label Anagram ended, and the Fiends soon established their own 13th Moon Records imprint. The trance-influenced 1996 EP Evolution found Alien Sex Fiend traveling even further away from their goth beginnings into the realm of electronica, a move continued on 1997's Nocturnal Emissions.
Following numerous compilations and live releases, including the 1999 retrospective Fiend at the Controls, Vols. 1-2, ASF returned with 2004's Information Overload, an adventurous update of the group's sound. Para-Abnormal, a CD of remixes and rarities, followed in 2006. The group's next full-length was delayed due to deaths in the family and other personal issues, but ASF re-emerged with Death Trip in 2010. In 2015, Cherry Red released Classic Albums and BBC Sessions Collection, the first of two comprehensive box sets of the band's early material. These were followed by the generous triple-CD package Fiendology in 2017. Possessed, Alien Sex Fiend's first studio album in eight years, appeared in 2018.

Recorded pretty much as a Mr. and Mrs. Fiend duo this time out, and produced by them as well, Another Planet shows the band still interested in pursuing what is right -- as long as what is right is also deeply wrong. Humor, creepiness, echo, and mania all thoroughly intact, the result is a pretty solid selection of songs, which finds the duo happily refusing to fade out. Another great Fiend anthem leads things off -- an instrumental take on "Bun-Ho!," combining stiff beats, murky noise and strange samples -- before sliding into the slightly more straightforward "Everybody's Dream." Once one hears Rik's usual cackle and snarl, everything is off to the races once again. Flecks of the slightly more sober industrial/dub-touched side surface more than once; "Radiant City" is a fine example, with a shuddering, hollow beat, buried rumbles, and noises backing Rik's disembodied voice. Then again, the Fiend wouldn't be the Fiend without a song like "Sample My Sausage" -- and it's not just the innuendo, but the brilliant use of a sample from the outrageous Blackadder TV series which makes it all work so well. Things get a bit draggy in the middle, starting with the overly long "Instant Karma Sutra," which doesn't turn out as well as the title promises, and the similarly sleepy "Alien." By the time the bizarro fake ad "Wild Green Fiendy Liquid" comes around, followed by the fantastic blast of "Nightmare Zone," it's more Fiend-ish delights as it goes. Add in the full version of "Bun-Ho!" towards the end, plus takes on Hawkwind's space rock classic "Silver Machine" and, of all things, a weird and wigged version of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction," and fans will not be disappointed.

Even though this live blast of Fiend madness obviously lacks the visual elements of the band's performances that makes them so memorable -- prosthetic organs and massive cobwebs are just the start of it -- Too Much Acid? answers its own question pretty easily. If the Fiends aren't necessarily ripped on LSD or anything else, the musical dementia on display becomes a handy substitute for the real thing. Recorded at various dates during the European leg for the Another Planet album, the set list is heavy on material from that and It, plus a number of singles cuts from around that time, demonstrating nicely that the group was far from a revival act even when most of its Batcave contemporaries had long since disappeared. The guitar/drum combination of new members Rat Fink, Jr. and Doctor Milton serves up the feedback and beat with power, while Mr. and Mrs. Fiend respectively rant and man the keyboards with their usual gusto. "I Walk the Line" gets a fierce rendition here, possibly even more unnerving than the studio take, while the It album track "Get Into It," on vinyl an amusing enough trifle, gets a better vocal and more bombastic rendition as a forceful call to the beat here. Things drag a bit in the middle, but starting with a solid rip through "Haunted House" (which if nothing else confirms that it isn't all that house, but has tons of samples), there's no holding back. "Smells Like..." isn't quite the equal of the original, but the beat is pounding, and Nik Fiend just goes off and then some. From there it's takes on the band's cover of "Hurricane Fighter Plane," the highly and entertainingly rude "Sample My Sausage" (aggrieved Blackadder sample fully intact) and, to close things out, a blast through the old B-side "Boneshaker Baby," here easily made the equal of most of the Cramps' back catalog.

Starting the 1990s with a totally out-of-nowhere move, Curse sprang to life with a lengthy orchestral blast of hyperbombast and creepiness, "Katch 22." Hearing synth choirs and Wagnerian percussion rolls while Nik spoke portentously had to have thrown just about any longtime Fiend fan for a loop, even when some of the later lyrics had him proclaiming "This good ol' boy is floating around in a bubble...life's a bitch!" Having demonstrated their ability to confound expectations, the four Fiends turned right around and served up one of the band's best-ever slices of electricshockabilly, the slow-burning "Now I'm Feeling Zombiefied." From there on in it's more Fiendish business as usual, just as invigorating, funny and flesh-crawling as always, though it's a much more technological ASF than ever before. Sampling, loops, and nods to hip-hop and dance culture have never been stronger than here, foreseeing Mr. and Mrs. Fiend's increasing fascination with and involvement in techno, albeit very much from an outsider's perspective. Happily, the band's collective fascination with darker and grimier sounds keeps everything from sounding like bandwagons are being jumped. As a singer and lyricist both, Nik very consciously aimed for some different approaches this time around, as with the slice-of-modern-life minidrama "Stress!" and his flatter, sometimes more forceful tones on many songs (most of the time it sounds like he's singing through a distortion pedal). Things certainly aren't all semiseriousness, though -- it wouldn't be ASF if it was! So song titles like "Eat! Eat! Eat!" and "Burger Bar Baby" are in evidence, while one of the CD version's six bonus tracks has the quartet kicking out the jams in a partial remake of the Cramps' "Mad Daddy." Another bonus track, "Radio Jimi," redefines the art of concert ads a la Fiend. It's another fine, fun day with the Fiends, in all.
