picked up Cabaret Voltaire Groovie, laid-back, and shitty. I know they went to chicago to record this with marshal jeffries cause they were interested in Chicago House. Anyone have the details of how they hooked up with Al for Acid Horse? I’m guessing it was when they were in town for these sessions…details plz.

That was more or less the impression I got. There’s a brief account of their visit to Chicago in Connelly’s bio-book, thought I don’t recall the entirety of it. His description of encounters with Richard Kirk is quite funny, as is most of the material in that book.
I would go dig out my copy, though maybe I will wait and see if Chris weighs in on the issue first.
I could always post the chapter on here as I’ve done before. I heard “No Name No Slogan” For the first time in years at a club a few months ago. Good times.
Weird case of the main album they came over to record turning out terrible, but the side project being a classic that people still request.
Funny thing is Al actually thinks it was a wasted effort, there’s an interview on this site somewhere that said that it could’ve been much better
Hi,
First post…long time listener…zzzz
I seem to recall both sides going their own way and working with the recorded materials. Don’t rate it myself.
4.6/10 max
sorry
They were in town to work with house producer marshall jefferson, marshall took a few days off because he had flu or something, and mal & richard were bored, we did this, and went out clubbing a lot, mal was (and still is) awesome, richard was grumpy , we did have a blast in the studio though,
…i wonder if there is anything in this post that will make that australian nutter lose his shit

It’s interesting, given this description, that that creative duo ended up temporarily joining heads with the Luxa / Pan production team - seemed like both Cabs and Ministry did their best work as “not always seeing eye to eye” partnerships, or just as pairings of non-identical personalities.
Kirk has made terrific solo works (I love ‘Black Jesus Voice,’ Sandoz’ ‘Chant to Jah’ and Sweet Exorcist), but I suspect that he’s very much like you-know-who in that he needs a charismatic and critical ‘second’ to drive him to an exceptional level.

Maybe not this time, though he has started a trend, and many of us have begun to blame you for all kinds of imaginary slights. I’m in the process of putting together a painstakingly detailed schematic that puts you at the center of pretty much all modern social ills and political conspiracies. I’m raising funds now to get it printed on the side of every city bus in the CTA fleet, and will also be distributing tracts on all of the red line subway stops.
Basically, Chris Connelly is the Devil. But not in a good way like in Twilight Zone where the devil is always hooking some dude up with broads and booze and good times. More like the devil that torments you in hellfire for all Eternity and /or disses a very nice oil painting that you worked very hard on. Go back to Hell where you came from, Chris Connelly.
I guess he’s also the type of Devil that does a mean David Bowie imitation!

It doesn’t seem to take much lately does it? He must be experiencing personal problems and is taking it out on anyone he thinks he’s got a shot at. I dont imagine miss bikini model is still around or is soon to be gone and so he’s about to find himself alone again. Thats got to be tough living such a shallow life. Oh well at least hes got a nice car he can drive himself alone around in… To his “massage” dates.

The music review book / site Trouser Press has a great quote about that similarity to Bowie: “as long as the real thing shows no inclination of creating music this affecting and accessible, Connelly might as well make the most of it”.
Very complimentary coming from them, since they generally ‘don’t get it’ wherever anything associated with WaxTrax! was concerned.
All that aside, though, I’m still going to be hard at work on my new viral attack video, KONNELLY 2014, done in the “awareness raising” spirit of KONY 2012. My total commitment to this project may cause me to go insane and get arrested for indecent exposure in San Diego, but don’t cry for me - it’s all for the Cause.
