Release Notes:
Sadly, The Last Temptation Of Chris is the final album from WinnipegÆs wannabe
goths, Surprise Party. ItÆs fitting of course, that these last songs would be
riddled with the highest voltage electro keyboard riffs, the hollowed old time
Barbershop-eque vocals and lyrics to set oneÆs teeth on edge.ôSeven-layer cutie.
I wanna take a dipö, courtesy of track 2, ôGloomö. If you have not shifted
involuntarily in your seat, you are a sociopath and must seek professional help
immediately. Surprise Party also included plenty of thunder elsewhere in their
album.
See track 3, ôThe Hunterö: explosions of cymbals fused to guitar with extra
crunch surrounded in a phase-shifting organ riff, and capped by lyrics that
conjure the ever-lurking prospect of oneÆs doom: ôIÆm the threat of the evening.
IÆm the trouble. IÆm the bringer of death tonightàIÆm the threat of the evening
for you tonight.ö Chills, instant chills.
For more chills, change to track 5, ôHexö. Deep thumping drums slowly rev the
song, like an old engine, and the spark plug is the keys/organ. I donÆt know
enough about engines to continue this metaphor, but those sounds are all played
before singer Danny HackingÆs voice checks in and sets its bed on fire. Track 9,
ôAngelÆs Breathö has a keyboard/organ riff that feels like Darth VaderÆs WWE
entrance music.
In addition to the tracks, Surprise Party has included a poem tucked into the
liner entitled ôLiber 69ö. This poem speaks to the possibility of ôLast
Temptationö being a concept album: the characters ôSolsticeö and ôHankö are
referenced in ôLiber 69ö as well as track 1 (emphasis added), ôBlues In F
(Solstice and Hank at the End of the Universe)ö. The general flow of the album
hints at a continuation of story. Perhaps you are twisted enough to follow it.
