Big Electric Cat - готик-рок группа из Сиднея, созданная Полом Сэдлером и Деборой Дентон, которые переехали из Лондона в Сидней в 1989 году.
(Википедия, разумеется, не объясняет почему, но многие лондонцы уже тогда сваливали из перенаселённой британской столицы в просторный, тёплый и жизнерадостный Сидней.)
Группа родилась в 1991, но стабильный состав сформировался только в 1993, когда к группе присоединился басист Дэвид Блок и драммашинка, которую они назвали Доктор Руфь. (Что-то напоминает, правда?)
За всё время существования вышло два альбома, а также кассетная демка и EP с ремиксами. В девяностых активно концертили, в т.ч. с Christian Death и Switchblade Symphony. В настоящее время неактивны, но официально распадаться не собираются, получая свою копейку с очередных ререлизов на компиляциях "Клеопатры".
Название группы вдохновлено книгой Филипа Дика "Мечтают ли андроиды об электроовцах?".
Музыка, как и следует ожидать, не лишена тёмной киберпанковой психоделии. Пыльные пустые улицы позднего летнего вечера, ремонтная мастерская для сломавшихся котов, регулятор настроения, выставленный на хандру и меланхолию. Впрочем, тексты не об этом (отлично, ибо если бы были об этом, было бы позерство, а так всё ок).
Альбомы:
Треки, на которые следует обратить внимание в первую очередь:
Bed of Nails (абсолютный хит), My Last Breath, Rebecca, Twisting Man, Hallucinations, Paris Skies.
My Last Breath
A howling wing blew through your mouth
As your eyes caught fire
You speak to me of ancient times
But I can't hear you
I can't hear you
A hidden door that never closes
Keeps the angels at bay
Whispers in your sleeping hours
That never lie or fade away
And one last breath before I fade
To dust and simply melt away
A mirror cracked and faded
Reflections made of stone
And light that shines within your eyes
Dissolve in shadows once again
So picture here a burning room
Where lovers die in cold embrace
The creeping hands of time decay
Blood and kisses turn to hate
And one last breath before I fade
To dust and simply melt away
And one last breath before I fade
To dust and simply melt away
Stranger things hide in human guise
Than reside in the valleys of hell
Bed Of Nails
Woke up on a Bed of Nails
The walls came tumbling down
Your love it never failed
You pushed it to the ground
It looks good
Yeah its understood
It looks good
Like it happened before
It looks good
Yeah Miss Understood
You gave me love but you wanted more
And while the wheels were turning
What did you see inside?
A flower that is burning
Sacrificed
We ride on a ship of fools
Scary when the sun goes down
You broke all the golden rules
Have mercy on my son
It looks good
Yeah its understood
It looks good
Like it happened before
It looks good
Yeah Miss Understood
You gave me love but you wanted more
And while the wheels were turning
What did you see inside?
A flower that is burning
Sacrificed
