The Future
Sound Of London - Dead Skin Cells (06:50)
Available on: Lifeforms
Lyrics:
None
Notes:
One of FSOL's most beautiful works, the piano-led Dead Skin Cells
begins the outstanding second half of Lifeforms disc one. With a
gentle rainstorm and chirping crickets, the track suggests an
evening in some tropical location. The piece ends on a short
guitar loop and the synths that also end Life Form
Ends. The title is less
charming, and is a topic Gaz resurrected for one of the stories
in the Dead Cities book:
"The old studio was so small before the rebuild - it could
never be cleaned without taking the studio apart - two years of
personal flaking and the room became known as the room of dead
skin cells - Pinn used to say 'I'm getting up my nose' Yage would
say 'chop me out a line of you'"
