ROOFTOPS (+ HIDDEN TRACK) - WORMHOLE
This was the ‘final’ track on the Dead Elvis release of Wormhole’s ‘Chicks Dig Scars’ album. The album was the first release undertaken by the label. It was released on CD in a limited edition of 500 in 1994. The band’s name changed to The Wormholes in the period following the release of the album because of their becoming aware of the existence of a US group with the same name.
The piece that begins after the silence was an unlisted track. After an instrumental section it breaks into Graham reciting the words of a serial killer. The ‘hidden’ section which follows the silent gap was lifted directly from one of the band’s early demos. It was not included on the Roadrunner Records 1995 re-release of the album.
Wormhole were Anto Carroll - Bass, Dave Carroll - Drums/Vocals and Graham Blackmore - Guitar/Vocals.
Rooftops was recorded by Marc Carolan. He also played piano.
