The Factory Of Rock And Roll (featuring The Sturmey Archers) by Wheelwright published on 2014-03-01T02:23:02Z This track is based on the concept and fantastic riff in http://soundcloud.com/paddyconner/the-coalface-of-rock-n-roll When I first heard the riff in that song it really hooked me, so I sampled it and started experimenting - and have finally ended up with this. I've messed about with the original sample something horrible in places - but Mr Sturmey Archers has been extremely nice about the whole thing. This track is from my 2013 backlog, and many thanks to Phil McWalter for his advice on an early mix of this track. The picture is called 'I around in circles' and is by the artist Luciano de Liberato: http://www.lucianodeliberato.com/cicli/ Lyrics: I've been working in the factory The factory of rock and roll I've been working with the robots They say we've got no soul In the factory of rock and roll They say we've got no soul down there Oh and they're probably right But you know, we don't care I've been working in the factory The factory of rock and roll I've been ch-checking the computers They say we've lost control In the factory of rock and roll They say we've lost control down there Oh and they're probably right But you know, we don't care It looks like you are Either trying to write a song Or a suicide note Would you like some help with that Et maintenant en Français [Repeat first section en Français] --- Stonking guitar riff sampled from http://soundcloud.com/paddyconner/the-coalface-of-rock-n-roll Computer generated voices Google Translate.

Genre RecordedMusic Comment by walkymatt Coming back to this after quite a while, and it’s still an absolute corker. Mad, daft, hilarious genius. I do miss the nasty dessert wine, though. 2023-11-04T00:22:59Z Comment by Matthew Peterson I haven't listened to this in awhile. I think somewhere there is a parallel universe where Wheelright is the biggest rockstar and ruler. 2023-08-09T14:39:55Z Comment by Jeff Roberts there but for a marketing team goes another soul who could have been thrown into the fire of commodity consumption... 2022-05-27T01:19:54Z Comment by Clay Young so true! 2022-05-19T14:57:53Z Comment by cam-o the chameleon off the charts, you're simply the best Michael 2022-04-11T21:28:43Z Comment by Mike Molino A smashing song! 2022-01-27T13:41:53Z Comment by Cat Came Back This was one of the many Wheelwright highlights of my day today.
