Not Of This Earth (The Damned Album)
''Not of This Earth'' is the eighth studio album by The Damned. It is often called ''I'm Alright Jack & The Beanstalk''. History The album has a convoluted history. Following the Final Damnation concerts in 1988, the original line-up of the band (singer Dave Vanian, guitarist Brian James, bass guitarist Captain Sensible and drummer Rat Scabies) had briefly collaborated to record the track "Prokofiev", which had a low-key USA-only release on the independent Skinnies Cut label. Over the following months, Scabies continued to collaborate with James, Kris Dollimore, guitarist with The Godfathers, on demos. James soon moved on. Scabies and Dollimore then recruited bass player Moose (formerly with New Model Army), the trio travelling to Scotland to work on further demos. Initial attempts to persuade Vanian to join the project were unsuccessful, as the singer was dismissive of the demo songs. Scabies abandoned the material, and began working with Alan Lee Shaw (who had previously ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

They quickly reformed without Brian James, and released ''Machine Gun Etiquette'' (1979). In the 1980s they released four studio albums, '' The Black Album'' (1980), ''Strawberries'' (1982), ''Phantasmagoria'' (1985), and ''Anything'' (1986), which saw the band moving towards a gothic rock style.

In 1999, when asked about this, Sullivan said, "We've been labelled as punks, post-punks, Gothic rock, Goth, metal, folk – the lot, but we've always been beyond those style confines".

Molten Lager
''Molten Lager'' is a live album by English rock band the Damned, released in October 1999. It was recorded in Mulhouse, France on 23 June 1994. The line-up features the '' Not of This Earth'' personnel and showcases much of that album and other rare tracks by the Damned. While somewhat obscure, this CD is regarded by many fans and music critics as the best of the Damned's numerous live albums , although it largely ignores the band's goth period in favour of the more punk and rock oriented material. It was recorded straight from the mixing desk to DAT. Reception Jack Rabid, writing for AllMusic, called the album "extremely great-sounding," adding, "Being boogie-rock, it doesn't really sound like the Damned, but it sounds like a fairly kick-ass R&B punk band being fronted by Dave Vanian." However, he felt that the "few old classics this lineup attempts" sound "horrible." Track listing ;Note *Some editions of the album omit "I Walk the Line" and "That Loving ...

Lenticular Printing
Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses (a technology also used for 3D displays) are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles. Examples include flip and animation effects such as winking eyes, and modern advertising graphics whose messages change depending on the viewing angle. Colloquial terms for lenticular prints include "flickers", "winkies", "wiggle pictures" and "tilt cards". The trademarks ''Vari-Vue'' and ''Magic Motion'' are often used for lenticular pictures, without regard to the actual manufacturer. Process Lenticular printing is a multi-step process which consists of creating a lenticular image from at least two images, and placing it behind a lenticular lens. It can be used to create frames of animation, for a motion effect; offsetting the various layers at different increments, for a 3D effect; or simply to show sets of alternative images that appe ...
