Inspired by the comic of the same name by Jonas Goonface, this song is written from the point of view of the strange feral children terrorising a small town in 1980s America. Where possible, the song has been made using actual 1980s equipment, or the nearest modern equivalent including the re-animated Cheetah MS6 polysynth, and the 1988 speech synthesizer.
lyrics
Follow The Leader
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Live by the sword, die by the handgun
Run and be free, bowing to no-one
And it’s all fine until the winter comes
and then the nights start drawing in
You get so hungry you could eat your friends
And that’s the only way to win
FOLLOW THE LEADER
His name is Fish, he is the master
He rules the park, feeds on disaster
And when you’re hungry you will scrounge for food
And hunt the crowd outside the park
They lock their doors and barricade them shut
And never come out after dark
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Skulls will be smashed, necks will be broken
Men will be slain, filleted open
We shift our shapes and wander in the dark
And hide in places you won’t see
A sudden blow and then your life is done
And now your name belongs to me

Un pur bonheur de prog rock, avec des claviers de ouf comme disent les djeuns ! De superbes mélodies... Un groupe que je ne connaissais pas encore ! Olivier SEGAS

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
