Voodoo-U
''Voodoo-U'' is the second studio album from Belgian electronic band Lords of Acid. It was released in 1994 on Rick Rubin's American Recordings label. The album begins the band's move from the rave sounds of predecessor ''Lust'' to a heavier, industrial music style. Lyrically the band maintains their outrageous sex-and-drugs themes. Lead vocal duties on ''Voodoo-U'' are performed by Ruth McArdle and backing vocals by Jade 4U, while some songs feature only Jade 4U. The album's first single, "The Crablouse", is an ode to pubic lice. The album's cover art was available in both a censored and uncensored version — the uncensored version featuring nude, fluorescent-orange-colored lesbian devils having a sexual orgy. The artwork was designed by American hot-rod artist Coop. Although not as universally praised as debut album ''Lust'', ''Voodoo-U'' earned positive reviews from music critics. With this album Lords of Acid ventured on their first world headlining tour with a full ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Our Little Secret
''Our Little Secret'' is the third studio album from Belgian electronic band Lords of Acid. It was released in 1997 on Antler-Subway Records. Both musically and lyrically, Lords of Acid maintain the industrial music and sexually charged songs found on their previous album '' Voodoo-U''. Lead vocal duties on ''Our Little Secret'' were performed by Jade 4 U. The front CD cover is a photo of a woman from the waist up, while the unfolded CD cover booklet is the completed full-body photograph which reveals an outline of a penis in her blue jeans. Displaying the band's trademark tongue-in-cheek humor, the back cover of the album presented ''Our Little Secret'' as a live recording of a classical music concert, as presented by "The Lords of Acid Orchestra". The song titles are presented with faux, intentionally pretentious parentheticals pertaining to classical pieces. ''Our Little Secret'' was the first Lords of Acid album to hit the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200, peaking at number 100. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Devil
A devil is the personification of evil as it is conceived in various cultures and religious traditions. It is seen as the objectification of a hostile and destructive force. Jeffrey Burton Russell states that the different conceptions of the devil can be summed up as 1) a principle of evil independent from God, 2) an aspect of God, 3) a created being turning evil (a ''fallen angel''), and 4) a symbol of human evil. Each tradition, culture, and religion with a devil in its mythos offers a different lens on manifestations of evil.Jeffrey Burton Russell, ''The Devil: Perceptions of Evil from Antiquity to Primitive Christianity'', Cornell University Press 1987 , pp. 41–75 The history of these perspectives intertwines with theology, mythology, psychiatry, art, and literature developing independently within each of the traditions. It occurs historically in many contexts and cultures, and is given many different names— Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, Iblis—and at ...
