SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “A Little Industrial Nachtmusik” w/John Bechdel (Killing Joke) & Davy Jones (Monkees)
…One may ask what techno-electronica music has to to with The Monkees, but they were one of the first mainstream pop groups to use synthesizer (also shown on their TV show). Micky Dolenz bought one of the first Moog synthesizers released to the market. On that note: In the late 90s Monkee Davy Jones and I were doing recording sessions at John Bechdel's studio. John is a musical visionary and a wizard of keyboards and synthesizers and has worked with a remarkable list of music acts: Ascension of the Watchers, Brian Brain, False Icons, Fear Factory, Killing Joke, Ministry, Prong, and others. John retooled one of Davy's songs, "Oh What a Night" (which we'd recorded in a Phil Collins funk-style in 1996; it was remade by The Monkees in 1997 for their JUSTUS album). He expanded the track with synths and effects, then remixed my Mellotron parts. From this "A Little Industrial Nachtmusik" was made and added to my FIRE album. This video features artwork by visual artist Nathan Wagoner…
