"In The Red" is a ghoulishly bouncy number by a band I can honestly say I cannot live without. But what else can one expect from 3/4 of the Amebix line up and the bass player of The Smartpils, Bad Influence, and (later) Cross Stitched Eyes? The "89-91" collection was my first exposure, but when I picked up "A Wind of Knives," track three seemed to coat the inside of my veins with a dark nepenthe of post-crust phantasmagoria. Infectious and strangely familiar, but ultimately in a class of its own, Zygote's work has been a bit polarizing to some potential fans. Many nay-sayers will still insist on comparing them to their previous band, but they really are two very different animals. I won't spend too much time trying to convince the unimpressed; Zygoted seems to be one of those "gut instinct"-type bands."In The Red" by Zygote from the "A Wind Of Knives" CD

Take two doses of Zygote and you'll be fine in no time! Your visit reminds me that I need to stop making excuses and post some Lesser Of Two disks!
Get well soon...
nice SOTW choice! i always loved their song "loveless" from the demo. reminds me of the motorhead song "orgasmatron"...oh, and thanks for reminding me how obnoxious the h100s were :)
Whatup!
Yeah, this post had me crankin the Zygote records for a week straight and "Loveless" struck me harder than in the past. Very cool song... a bit less heavy and a bit more... shoe-gazey than the others.
