matt haines, a.k.a. the rip-off artist, went over to the dark side
a couple of years ago. before that, he was happy making little
dinky dance tunes, mostly in the electro and drum-n-bass genres.
using names like mental blox, control-x and front bc, he released
four albums and seventeen singles, and even ran an electro label
called spinyl for a few years. but then everything grew dim.
unbeknownst to mr. haines, the local electricity company, in an
effort to save costs and increase profits, had gradually been
reducing the voltage they delivered. while they claimed it was us
standard 117 volts, it had dipped to just over 90 volts before
their plot was discovered. meanwhile, their customers' lights grew
dimmer, which had a subtle but undeniable effect: paranoia and
other mental problems. there were thirty-seven reported cases of
psychological stress directly connected with this incident. mr.
haines was one poor victim, but fortunately his was a mild case.
mr. haines has for the most part recovered, and is living in
seclusion in the los angeles area. perhaps fortunately for us,
there have been lasting effects however. when he had recovered
enough to attempt production again, he found that his music had
changed. no longer was it the happy, carefree, mindless dance
music of before. instead, it had mutated into something bizarre,
like oversized fluorescent mushrooms in some dark radioactive
closet. the beats remain, but fall apart almost as soon as they
materialize. voices enter at random, sounds that shouldn't be used
together are used together. what were once friendly little
synthesizer melodies are now dark, or crazed, but mostly nonsense.
quatermass has seen fit to release some of this nonsense on the
album the kids are alright.
