Initially the Neon Death Slittes also had similarly psychogeographic concerns. The genesis of the project is a vaguely amusing story, so I might as well tell it. I was wandering around a supermarket on the edge of town one day and saw a copy of the Clash's London Calling on a rack of bargain CDs. Someone had obviously decided against buying it, and in putting it back had rotated the cover 90 degrees clockwise. The word ‘London' now looked like ‘zodzor' - a name to conjure with if ever there was one... As I did my shopping I was quietly thinking about what Zodzor would be. In the vicinity of the fish aisle I was struck by an image of a giant dog on a throne, sitting in a long disused subway tunnel - not unlike the amalgamation of Zoltan: Hound of Dracula and something from Quatermass and the Pit, both memorable films from my childhood. Zodzor, then, was the genius of urban areas. It had a name that derived from human language, unlike the formless, nameless, organic spirit that permeates the rural landscape. So, to cut a boring story short, the Neon Death Slittes formed to play Zodzoric music. Unfortunately none of the explicitly Zodzoric recordings have made it out - they collapsed under the weight of their own conceptualism, since they involved convoluted lyrical and musical processes based on rotating things 90 degrees clockwise! Currently the Neon Death Slittes is an all purpose ‘loud stuff' project, although it does still tip its hat affectionately to Zodzor - especially with tracks like Battle Hymn of the Zodzoric Empire and Psychic Underground.
