'90s Music Monday - Jesus Jones
Ah, electro/pop/rock/dance/sample time with Jesus Jones. This is Zeroes and Ones, from their (last?... no; crumbs, they're still going!) album Perverse.
It's all about how information will be "all yours and all mine" because "zeroes and ones will take us there". It's not particularly prescient, even for '93 (remember, kids, that was before Netscape and everything) but its cheery techno-utopianism is a nice bit of nostalgia (even if the lyrics do mention "information, truth and lies", it's convinced "the next revolution will be computerised"). The press made a lot at the time of the fact that all the instruments (even the guitars!) were sampled then reconstituted in the studio (but they were also good enough to note The Young Gods had been doing that for years, even then).
The video is, er, of its time. It doesn't compress well (that's an understatement). In fact, I should probably do a Nintendo and warn that if you're prone to seizures, you shouldn't watch it. On the other hand, it's kind of cute in a sub-Hackers kind of way.
Anyway, I've been meaning to post this for ages, and here it is. Wistow: you're overdue. It's nearly midnight here, you know.
