Crockett's Theme / Ocean Drive

FPU - Ocean Drive (Tiga's Linen Vox)

Severed Heads are one of the longest standing bands to have emerged from the Australian post-punk and experimental scene. They began in Sydney in 1979, and were an early outfit to incorporate elements of 'industrial' noise-generation, tape cutting & looping and electronic sound synthesis. As the project developed, song-structures and vocals were employed in a more-or-less recognizable mutant electro pop style. After many line-up changes featuring Gary Bradbury and psychedelic guitarist Simon Knuckey, Severed Heads became the solo vehicle for composer Tom Ellard. 
In 1983 they released a C-60 cassette called “Since The Accident” that grabbed the attention of Ink Records, a subsidiary of Virgin in the UK.  Ellard added a throwaway track at the last minute to fill out the cassette, not wanting to leave an unseemly gap on a C60 tape. This track, “Dead Eyes Opened” was catchy enough to get a lot of airplay on the main non-commercial radio station in Sydney. The band was asked to make this song into a 12” single. For this extended version, Tom Ellard and producer Patrick Gibson went to M Squared studio and passed the multitracked recordings through various EQ's and delays. “Dead Eyes Opened” features samples from a radio program narrated by Edgar Lustgarten, a crime journalist from England, referencing a double murder case that occurred in 1924. The rhythms are made by a TR-808 drum machine and an SH-1 synthesizer. A KORG PolySix was used for strings and additional atmospheric elements. The lead solo was a Casiotone run through an Octaver foot pedal. On the B-side are two solo compositions “Bullet” and “Mount” that Ellard recorded at Terse Tapes in 1982. 

All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in the original jacket featuring the iconic photograph of a girl with a painted face wrapped in some cloth by Juilee Pryor. Each copy includes a fold-out newsprint poster with a large photo of the band wearing Art Unit skull shirts on one side and liner notes and press clippings on the other. 30 years later Severed Heads are still paving the way for powerful, imaginative, and challenging music.

Lyrics:
The sun is high
I am going outside
Vampires are asleep
Witches are taking over

Blood pressure is high
Need to pump some iron or German steel
That's how I want to feel
From now on

Love is high
Stomach and butterflies
Witches and vampires
Frenchies do it better

Kittin is high

Lyrics:
Lost in a city that never sleeps 
Empty shells on the streets 
A life full of devices
 In a lack of caresses

High-tech no love neon lights don't stop  
Electronic city

Need a new microphone?
 What for? My voice is gone (with the wind)
 Holding wires in despair 
No one here to repair

Looking for amphetamine 
Dreams don't make you dream 
And when you look behind the scene
 There's no electro-queen

Electronic city
High-tech no love neon lights don't stop

Lyrics:
We're caught in a trap
 I can't walk back
 Because I love you too much baby 

Why can't you see 
What you're doing to me
 When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
 With suspicious minds
 And we can't build our dreams 
On suspicious minds

So if an old friend I know 
Drops by to say hello
 Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Why can't you see 
What you're doing to me
 When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
 With suspicious minds
 And we can't build our dreams 
On suspicious minds

Lyrics:
There's a party in my head  
There's a party in my head on oxygen 
Try to organise the ideas in my brain
 A creative chaos that will never end 
I’m a cosmos always ready to extend

  (The sound, the sound, the sound of silence)  

I can stay forever looking at the sky
 It reminds me and realise 
I’m so small, I’m so not individual 
Shining stars a mirror to be wise

  (The sound the sound the sound of violence)  

There's a party in the sky and I don't see
 Too much lights in the night of the city 
But if you stand next to, next to, next to me 
We can touch a little spark of eternity

  (The sound, the sound the sound of innocence)

  I can stay forever looking at the sky
 It reminds me and realise
 I’m so small I’m so not individual 
Shining stars a mirror to be wise

  (Innocence)  

There's a party in my head on oxygen
 Try to organise the ideas in my brain 
A creative chaos that will never end
 Like a cosmos always ready to... extend

Lyrics:
A new day, a new dream 
Waking up, but still sleeping 
All the time remembering
 Pictures of your 1000 dreams

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  Is it too exhausting 
To be in the wondering?
 Don't you know it will repeat
 Until you find the meaning?  

Again and again and again and again the same dream  

Another chance, take a break 
Face to face, big escape
 Rewind and sublime
 1000 dreams to reach the one

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  A new day, a new dream
 Waking up but still sleeping
 All the time remembering 
Pictures of your 1000 dreams
