"Revenge grew out of a drum loop we made with Michael Shockley, recording the drums through a couple of PZM mics placed in HVAC ducts. Nyoi was a word that survived the psychedelic excursions of New Jersey teen-hood.
Zef's lyrics born from freestyles inspired by atmospheric street recordings taken in Midtown Manhattan; No Rock and Roll in Hell and Faggots and Freaks (which can be heard in the first SLI release).
Definitely some Cop Shoot Cop and Ritual Tension influence. And of course Catfish Collins (James Brown Band).
Some machine sounding samples taken from the movie Coma, a 1978 suspense film based on the novel of the same name by Robin Cook." -Mike iLL
