For this album, I thought I'd try my hand at some 1960s style psychedelia. This was the first attempt, with tons of echo on the vocals and trippy lyrics. I do wish I'd had a better combo organ sound at the time though.
lyrics
Mr. Apocalypse
There's a hidden little corner in the backstreets of my mind
Where my innocence was slaughtered and it isn't far behind
If I thought that I was you, and then you thought that you were me,
Then it wouldn't really matter who the real us would be. Would it...?
They never called me 'Mr. Apocalypse'
Candy for the wicked, a bullet for the good
They told me this was justice but I never understood
I didn't know that I'd be king when I was brought up as a farmer
Prophecies don't mean a thing when you aren't looking for an answer. Do they...?
"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.
