Clone Theory
LOAD 008 12"

This record is a standout in the records of Six Finger Satellite as it takes a dance tone. Some darkstep dances fer sure, but think Chrome, Deutsch Amerikan Friendschaft and you might start to get the idea. The sort of stuff that has bubbled under the surface in Providence thanks to the direction these patriots unleashed.
The band has been around since 1989, has had 3 Ep's, three albums, a 10", and lots of 7"'s but has waited for this release to do their robot pumped anglo angular damage. In steps Load Records, with an ear to the dance heavy sounds of the street. Next thing you know the records out, the charts are lighting up with the Teutonic dance fury of Six Finger Satellite.
This record was recorded at the mega-deluxe studio, the Parlour, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It was recorded between February and March of 1996 after their Paranormalized was recorded for the mega North Western label, Sub Pop.
There was extensive touring in support of the record including dates with Chicago uber-band, the Jesus Lizard. 2000 were pressed, and only a mere handful left.
The band has undergone some lineup changes and now has the rhthym section of Landed with Shawn Greenlee on bass and Joel Kyack on guitar.
The band seems to be on an indefinite hold, with no recent shows. They did tour in the summer of 2001 and played a Columbus Festival with Suicide. The tour was with Landed. People have described their new sound as less the angular treble scrape of past days and more heavy. They do a cover of Black Flag's "Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie".
