[Ufotofu]

Are there any other people on this board who listen to this group? They're probably my second favorite band, behind Underworld, of course.

Their sound is so haunting and powerful, and the spoken-word samples scattered throughout their work are so memorable, even from the first listen.

The car's on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides

and a dark wind blows

the government is corrupt, and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn

we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death

the sun has fallen down, and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

it went like this:
the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies, picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair.

the skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said, "kiss me, you're beautiful-- these are truly the last days."
you grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream or a fever

we woke up one morning and fell a little further down - for sure is the valley of death
I open up my wallet
and it's full of blood
