Dääb-Soul Destruction started as a project when I was bouncing from house to house in my travels. In Denver, Daryl Calendar, Michelle Gilmore and I, created tape loops with live instruments and TOPY influenced non-sense.

Daryl traveled back down to Miami with me for a few months. Soon we had the idea...

We played two shows - back to back - each night was trouble.

In a time when noise music was even more unpopular (1992) we had gotten everything from people asking us to stop, or trying to unplug the equipment, to threats of lawsuits after the show due to 'ear damage', use of strobe lights and what some woman called "scary content".

Insert reads:

What you are about to experience is an Audio Ritual. Performed, and recorded, in less than one half hour at Slap Club, Miami. The conspiritors being Adel 156 and Daryl C. who constructed five musical pieces and played them out in ritual form.

THE EVANGELIST THEORY (04:14)

Why doesn't the big boy himself keep these evangelist out of trouble. If they are truly the messengers of gOD... forget it. We dedicated this track to the almighty and one true gODD - Yahweh-ben-Yahweh and his Temple of Love.

 

INTRAVENOMOUS THERAPY (02:05)

AIDS virus - thank you Congress. Clean needles and safe sex for the rest of your lives. They're just looking out for you.

 

THREE FRIENDLY FACES OF FATE (04:46)

One 'musical' piece, three faces of death. Pseudo-Satanism, serial killers and racism. Killing for naught! Face one... Silly little boys and girls, spreading spookiness all over the world. Face two... Is it? Could it be true; Gene Simmons of KISS goes on a killing spree. Face three... If only they had done this to Geraldo, instead of just breaking his nose.

 

RADIO CHAOS (00:23)

Nothing but radio silence. A plea for more pirate radio stations!

 

INVOCATION OF BREATH (01:56)

Oh Babalon, go join a Mosque...
