Title: Eve Of Destruction
Post by: Enjoyed on Apr 27, 2019, 18:54
Probably time for another topic for a single album track. Right guys & gals?

There's some speculation over whether this will end up as a single. The tease of the video/visuals being the main hint. I think we're all hoping for a remix or two at the very least.

I thought this could be a good place to share any videos of the 'original' version that was played out in the DJ sets too. I actually never heard that version so I'm keen to listen to the progression.

I also wanted to express my love for the track, my expectation to see it opening the new live shows, and the following story:

My wife doesn't like it when I go over the top and sing lyrics constantly at her. Nor does she enjoy it when I respond to a question with lyrics instead of a real answer. So "Eve of Destruction" has become a bit of a jokey point of contention between us. I've also been scorned a couple of times for starting the album when we're trying to get ready to leave the house (because she knows I'll end up getting distracted and bopping instead of getting my shit together).
We own a community ceramics studio here in Portland and I have a 10day long playlist of nice vibe music that plays pretty solidly during our open hours. There's some treats in there, a few mellower Chems tracks, Groove Armada, Lemon Jelly, FKJ, lots of instrumental hip hop - it's honestly a great playlist.
So, fast forward to yesterday evening. The sun is out. People are in the space working on their stuff. I head to the office to make some music changes. I queue up Eve of Destruction. Just the first 4 lines play, then I skip to the next track in the studio playlist.
Out in the space I hear my wife... "What happened?"
I come out and respond, "I was just kidding, I know you probably didn't want me to play it"
She shoots back, "I didn't think you cared".
"I can go and put it back on if you want?"
Her reply... "I mean... Sacrifice is justified, y'know?"

I high five her, give her a kiss and go play Eve of Destruction loudly in our studio  8)

you're a funny guy, you know that, right!? And you're wife's a real good sport!

The track is fecking dope. At first, I was a little concerned about it after I had listened to some of those clips (and conviently forgot about them when the album dropped) and thought, "meh, sounds a bit flat." But man, when the snare drums started pounding leading right into that funky as hell of a bassline I was jumping in my seat.

I love the track as well. A great way to kick off the music exploration that is No Geography. I think it was stated in a forum review that the track sounds like a DJ set of the Chems. That's a pretty good way to sum it up. There are so many elements. For me, it sounds like the track they would have made prior to Exit Planet Dust if they had the ability to jump into a time machine and head to the year 2019 and then come back and report what they know. What they now know is "Eve of Destruction."

Also, I would be remiss if I didn't say that my 2 and half year old daughter is walking around the house saying "Eve of Destruction".... priceless.

OK so here's the lyrics :

ダンダン ダダン スタン ダンダン
ダンダン ダダン スタン ダンダン

Without Kanji:

All seems rather non sequitur-ish in English. I wonder if it makes more sense in Japanese?

This bit doesn't translate? Well, there was already a little tribute to Alan Partridge in the middle of the Free Yourself video. (https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,759.msg15893.html#msg15893) So  maybe ths is another one.

To be honest I just took the already written lyrics and tried to find missing lyrics
we can't be 100% sure but it seems legit to me I wonder if someone here knows japanese and can help us because I was putting the missing lyrics from what I hear and what makes sense
It sounds even weirdier if you translate it to the polish (my native language)
It isn't 100% correct for sure but I had a fun writing this
Dan dan dan part is just singing like la la la or something :D

I speak some Japanese (it's a work in progress) and here's my go at the translation from the No Geography Lyrics post:

ダンダン ダダン スタン ダンダン (4x)
Dan-dan da-dance ta-dan-dan
ぶっ壊したい何もかも (4x)
(I/you) can destroy anything (I/you) want.
God fucking a damn そこさ今
God fucking damn, now there.*
イブはアダムとする ていうのは
Eve is a Adam
白い色は見えない
I can't see white.
(?) 止めないことはない
(I/We/it) cannot be stopped.
何も知らす踊りたい
気づく まだそばに
I want to dance without knowing
居てくれる人は無し 友達とはいないけど
But I still know there are no people that'll remain/stay close, no friends.
(ぶっ壊したい何もかも) (3x)
You can break down anything you want. (x3)

*The Japanese phonetic version of saying god fucking damn would be "godu fukunga damu" so I don't think it should be "a damn"

電子王 (denshi ō) - Electric King
水性ゴリラ (suisei gorira)- Aquatic Gorilla
ホセ博士 (hose hakase) - Dr. Hose*
緑色液球体 (midoriiro eki kyūtai) - The Green Liquid Orb



*Funny side-note: "ホセ" (hose) is also how "Jose" is written in Japanese. So one could make the argument that it's name is Dr. Jose too.

FINALLY! I Was wondering what all that meant.
thank you sir Biff!

I'm still looking around for the making of this visual. Who are the actors/actresses in them.

I think the same people who did C-H-E-M-I-C-A-L also did this because Dr Hose is in both.

I'm wondering if it's the same group used in the DYOH visuals. In fact, I think there a subtle reference to those visuals when the aquatic gorilla picks up and throws the hero in the exact same (same guy?) as someone does during DYOH.

I thought it looked like a giant golf ball, but cheese works great too! So, it's the Pringles Sisters and Lord Cheeseball, I love it. Kinda yummy.

What a great decision to release this brilliant, not-taking-itself-too-seriously "story" visual for us. I'm glad Marcus and Adam are getting more exposure through this and people can appreciate their immense talent, as well as Kate Tabor's genius costumes.

^Lovely stuff.

There's one thing about this track - album version, single edit, live - that I think would make it better. A melodic break. A "middle eight", whatever you want to call it.
Eve is a track that always feels like it's building to something but I don't think it ever quite reaches musical climax.
Using an early 90's example (because Eve has an early 90's feel to it) Moby's Go wouldn't be as good without this piano bit (https://youtu.be/N_Qwo8sT9U0?t=123) in the middle.
Some sort of melodic piano or synth solo in there would really put the icing on the cake for me.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Imagine the vast chemical universe not yet explored! And we only get a glimpse of that with the OOC 21 minute suite.

I'm totally in love with this dubstruction (the name is genius too). It's the best dub since Go! A minor thing is the little too faint vocals. Wished Aurora would come out a bit louder.

On Spotify there is a "storyline" feature which has tidbits of facts about the song (from an interview with Tom) describing the song and the process of making it. There's also pictures from the visuals, I won't spoil the info for now but was a fun little read.

Let's hope the Bros give us more alternate versions of other tracks like this. I still want a No Geography Pt. II that continues where No Geography leaves off.
Seconded x1000

Loving the Dubstruction. It's crisp sounding and feels so effervescent, but moodier with a nice glimmering treatment on the vocals.

Hmmm, I clearly prefer the normal track. Dubstruction sounds a bit erratic to me and doesn't pack the punch of the album track. In  my opinion, they made the right choice which version to include on the album.

Picked up the lossless of Dubstruction. Let's hope the Bros give us more alternate versions of other tracks like this. I still want a No Geography Pt. II that continues where No Geography leaves off.
Maybe, in 20 years time, they will release the 10 minute version which that track deserves.

I agree to a point here too - in context of No Geography, the original track works best, in both length and punch. I do love this alternate version though.

Yep, the album version works just great for the album and it's a bit more "to the point". Dubstruction is the Chems just going nuts with a track and exploring some different routes. Like with Go Edge of Control it brings out exciting new aspects for me. That's what I love about this concept. It's basically like their live performance mindset, to go off the beaten path. That's what I'm always looking forward to in their sets. Those gems of alternative takes on tracks I love, you know, like the 2007 Golden Path Acid madness or the Apple 2015 Snow Surface and Escape Velocity versions etc.

I'm glad they're sharing this with us.

Is there a way to listen to this elsewhere? I don't have spotify. I'd very much like to be spoiled!

Fond of the few seconds on Dubstructiom where they go back to the original bassline from those DJ set recordings of the song
But still kinda wish we'd gotten that version along with this  :-[

Terrific poster, Hstn! Love it. Could you do a non-black (transparent) version so that I could print it on a t-shirt?

this was honestly the best I could do! (apologies about the particles, I used a rather unorthodox program for this!)

I hope you're not mad as hell, Hstn, but i needed a new Coffee Mug Of Destruction

You should sell those mugs Pumisher!

The noise at 5.16 on Dubstruction reminds me of this noise (https://youtu.be/Zqae5qyopok?t=124) on Professional Widow, but dampened down a bit.
Ok, bye.

If you check Nene's story, she was at the show but her visuals didn't make the cut unfortunately

Pretty interesting remix, I like it! Cowbells, new chord progression and Japanese styled "ugh" vocals on a decelerated beat.

It's definitely an interesting take. Without knowledge of who Kokoko was, I thought it was going to transform into drum n' bass track.

Just quickly looked into some of their own music. To take a stab at how to describe them, It looks like they're a repurposed instrument, rhythmic group. I'm kinda familiar with this style before, as I've listened to Konono no. 1, which is also from Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Dubstruction is pure gold with recycling of unused verses and elements of the first mix and oh god... OG Bassline...
But Kokoko one... Meh
I would like to get another proper remix of this song
