Had to go with the greatest hits. Bjork. Wow. Seriously amazing, Such a strange voice. Powerful. There a lot of videos for this Compilation. Holy shit, a ton. I wont use them all. Seriously, she is one ov my favorite female artists. Usually very edgy and abstract which I can totally relate to. The video for All is full of love by Chris Cunningham(aphex twin videos) and who also worked with Stanley Kubrick. Rumor has it that the robots in this video were originally going to be used in the move “AI” but it got axed by Steven Spielberg and didn’t get used. But found a home in this Amazing Bjork Video.


When bjork belts out, like she usually does in most of her songs, there is this resonance in her voice that just pierces my soul. It hypnotizes me, and blasts me into another emotional state that is beyond the usual ones. So much power in that voice. So unique, not like anyone else. Some people hate it, but that usually is because they have very bad vanilla taste in vocals. I love hyperballad a lot, the video is ok, but I love how she sings about falling down the side of a mountain, that is what really sells me on this track. Strange.


The song that really got me into Bjork’s solo music after the Sugar Cubes was Army of me. That Huge fat bass line. It’s trippy and varies in intensity as the song progresses, repetitive but perfect. I love the video as well. Again, i love the lyrics, If you complain once more, you’ll meet an Army Of Me. heeheheh.

I love the Bachelorette as well, the strings, the piano and that daunting haunting voice that sends chills down my spine. Her voice is what sells it. But the song dynamic is perfect, how it builds up and fades, then the melodies change, so great. Kick ass song writing. I seriously am very envious of songs like this. I wish i could get strings and piano to sound that great. I wish I could work with a female singer that could sing as well as she can..

I loved pagan poetry as well, I would listen to this over and over again. I love the harp sounds and how they are played. I love how it sounds like a demented toybox. I love how bjork’s music blends the synthetic and organic. Cool synths with very lush harps and music box instruments. I love the pink dots for doing things like this on their older lps but Bjork mastered this. Simply amazing. Not to mention, this video is amazing, we get to see crazy piercings. Oh, did I forget? she is nude in this video. It’s not work safe…

The hunter is very psychedelic. This video fucked with me so hard core when I was tripping. Very minimal song, but well done.. Watch…

Even if you don’t like bjork, you have to admit, the videos are simply amazing and worth owning. This is one of my most listened to cds that I own. I Highly recommend this. Buy now! Click Here to buy Bjorks Greatest Hits on CD. Click Here to buy Bjorks Greatest Videos Volumen.

Music: The Witching Hour by Ladytron, Hexfix93’s Take.

January 18th, 2008 by Hexfix93

witching hour The Witching Hour
  1. High Rise
  2. Destroy Everything you Touch
  3. International Dateline
  4. Amtv
  5. Sugar
  6. Soft Power
  7. Cmyk
  8. Fighting in Built Up Areas
  9. Last One Standing
  10. Weekend
  11. Beauty
  12. White Light Generation
  13. All The Way

Ouch, it’s so tough to pick a ladytron lp to review, because every single record they have put out is brilliant in some way. But this one certainly has the most polish on it, and kick ass hits that really makes it stand above the other lps. Sure there are some songs on the other records i still prefer, but i feel like this is their strongest LP to date. The video below is the best video i have seen in years. I love this song. The chorus reminds me of abba a bit. The melodies are genius.


This is by far my favorite band of the last 5 years. No other band has this much character, kick ass song writing, kick ass band image, talent, and 3 amazing records proving that they are no one hit wonders. Proving that they will be around for years to come and will be a cult band in any age of music. I think if they make 10 records and they all stay at this level, they could easily become my favorite band of all time. Only time will tell.


My favorite song on this lp is Fighting In Built Up Areas, This song just groves in this evil hypnotic way, the vocals sound sinister and haunting. If I was a DJ again, I would play this song into the ground. 2nd favorite song is Destroy Everything You Touch, I love the melodies and how the song builds up. I love how there are more guitars on this lp, it really added a lot of texture. Beauty is my 3rd favorite, it’s sad, and distant and amazing and so emotional. I don’t skip any of the tracks on this lp at all. I can listen to this from start to finish. But I don’t think high rise should be the opening track, just my opinion. It threw me off when i first bought it. It doesn’t set the tone for the rest of the lp so keep that in mind if you buy it. Buy now! Click Here to buy The Witching Hour on CD.

VAC: Who is Velvet Acid Christ? 2008 tour? new lp?

January 13th, 2008 by Hexfix93

vacnews.jpg
UPDATE: I’m taking a few days off from the blog. need a break. worked through the entire holiday season.

A very complex Question. As of right now it is Bryan Erickson aka Disease Factory(as vocalist and musicians) aka Hexfix93(As producers and engineer): Plays Keybaords and Synths, Drums, Guitars, Bass, Vocals, Lyrics, Producer, Engineer, Mixing, Programming fx and synths. Todd Loomis aka Elegia: Plays guitars, and keyboards and synths, some drum work. I will work on a track with Erick Kosnar as well, we’ll see how that goes. VAC started in 1990 in Boulder Colorado. Inventor and founding member is Bryan Erickson, Bryan has been the leader in every incarnation and line up of the project since it’s inception.

We finally have a live band in the works, The line up might be, Disease Factory, Elegia(maybe), and Hypostasis and maybe Eric Kosnar of Darker Days Tomorrow/Emergence(this depends on some things and may or may not happen). This will probably be the live band during the upcoming 2008 Velvet Acid Christ world tour. Hope this gives my fans some hope. Nothing is written in stone, but so far I think these guys on will be on board for shows. We plan on having a new VAC record out in spring or fall, and a tour in the summer. I will be adding a Current band members page to this site very soon. No mater what, i am touring in 2008, even if all my hair falls out.. ahahaahahah

The New LP to come out in 2008 is called “Songs for Villains: Hymn’s ov the Apocalypse.” . So far we have 4 songs finished, Phucking Phreak 2008, Killed In Space(i’m on the fence on this track though, it might not make the final cut), Caustic Itch, and Faded. We only plan on making all new vac cds 45 to 50 minutes long, so 8 to 9 songs maximum. We will not do any singles in the future. If we decide to do covers, they will be online releases only for sale through Itunes or amazon. Our production is much better this time, we have mastered many daws, fx units and mixing analog. This has really improved our production, we have high end fx, great converters, great hardware compressors, mics, guitars, amps, mixers, synths and a desire to make dark brilliant songs that are catchy and memorable. We are making huge strides.

Also Todd/Elegia has made a lot of progress on his solo project. I’m hoping it will open for VAC instead of toxic coma this is not confirmed either. Toxic Coma has no plans as of now. We lost a member in Toxic Coma, so I don’t know what will happen with that side project as of now. Todd’s project is pretty cool. It sounds nothing like vac, but it is electronic. Hopefully soon we will have some demo tracks online for us to listen to..
