And almost a year later, Personal Jesus follows this song...how about that?

Never heard this before and really enjoyed the first listen as well.

Sounds a lot like Primal Scream to me, but am digging the really gritty bass line.

unbelievable. download the demo of the arp2600v from arturia: https://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/products/arp2600v/intro.html install it and hold down any key. the bassline of this song is just the FIRST FACTORY PATCH that comes with the synth. they didn't even bother editing it, or even skipping ahead to say, patch #2, they just took the first sound the synth makes when you turn it on and built a song around it. that's pretty cheesy, if you ask me. kind of like buying a picture frame at wal-mart and just keeping it on your desk with the picture of the family that it came with...
 
Nah. They took a shitty frame and put a nice picture in it.Justified the frame...a little.

And what's the deal with that Beethoven guy? He used the exact same notes as JS Bach! He didn't bother to make up any new ones or anything, just shuffled them around a bit.

At last! I thought my luck was really out this evening with nothing above a 5 for over 50 minutes, but then along comes a solid 8. RP does seem to go in phases - sometimes it's 7 or more for an hour or more, which makes it a pisser trying to leave work, sometimes it's wall-to-wall ho-hum, though usually more of the great than the ho-hum. Long live eclecticism, though :)

The melody of the vocals reminds me of the verses in Smells Like Teen Spirit. The strong, catchy groove and mellow vocals make a nice contrast.

I actually browsed here cos i thought i was hearing the beginning of some alternate or live Fall version of Blindness on RP! Instant 1 for barefaced cheek to rip of such a great track.

Nope. From their website: ROOFTOP RALLYE in your dreams smileing at the answer to it all don't bother knowing what's on my mind let your hair down, let your hair down you said, to good to be true no longer safe from your creation don't bother knowing what's on my mind and how to go about it the secret sins beyond your selfish ways bruises all over turn a summersault upon folly folly returns don't bother knowing what's on my mind let your hair down, let your hair down driving blind in a rooftop rallye

don't bother, I've been looking for a while on the P2P sites and nothing. Don't think there's enough for a torrent yet either...

the buy link on their site (www.division-kent.com) goes to their Swiss distributor: (click here) but it's not in English, so that may be a problem? you might also write an email to one of the addresses in the "contact" section of the site.

Yeehaah, me like! What a sound! Different from the usual playlist, I'm surprised the integrists are not heaping rubbish onto that one. Or maybe I didn't read enough comments. Tattva was a good surprise too.

It took me a while to figure it out, but this reminds me subtly, yet strongly, of Chris Vrenna's remix of Rob Zombie's "Return of the Phantom Stranger". Just posting that in case anyone else feels the same burning sense of vague recognition. But I somehow doubt anyone will.
