MNQ 052 ROYAL FAMILY AND THE POOR - THE TEMPLE OF THE 13TH TRIBE LP

The Royal Family & The Poor is the nomenclature adopted by Mike Keane, who recorded for Factory Records between 1980 and 1986. "The Project Phase 1  - The Temple of the 13th Tribe", released in 1984 (FACT 95) was produced in Manchester by Joy Divison and New Order bassist Peter Hook. Featuring the violinist John Neesham (of Walking Seeds and Mel-o-Tones) and the keyboard player Lita Hira from labelmates Stockholm Monsters, the album was done only after plenty of ups and downs in Keane's own life as well as numerous personnel shifts and incarnations, but the end results were a sometimes delicate and often enthralling combination. 

The combination of TR 808 and other drums, reverbed vocals, and aural mystery is all permeated by Keane's interest in the occult, while Hook's technological know-how adds a sharp rhythmic punch to tracks such as "Dark And Light", "Radio Egypt" and "Discipline". Other tracks include one of Mike Keane's best known songs, the affecting ballad "I Love You (Restrained in a Moment)", and the sinister, vocodered "Motherland".  

Perhaps the most misunderstood band to record for Factory Records, The Royal Family and the Poor remain for many an (oc)cult enigma, releasing only four albums in two decades, and rarely performing live after 1984. 

A lost classic, highly recommended for fans of Joy Division, New Order, Section 25, Durutti Column, Death In June.

05 Radio Egypt

these eyes they don't show what you know
the shedding of lies will unfold

remember the scars you have sewn
but there's nothing to recall nothing to recall
remember the dreams you've been told
but there's nothing to believe and there's nothing to pray for
surreal and confined the frills and the rind
receding receding receding
the science of grief despair no relief in silence you wait cause

you forgot how to feel 
as revealed in your eyes

these eyes they don't show what you know
nothing to believe and there's nothing to pray for
remember the scars you have sewn 
but there's nothing to recall nothing to recall
surreal and confined the frills and the rind
receding receding receding
the science of grief despair no relief in silence you wait 

you forgot how to feel 
as revealed in your eyes
