I have heard this song. if its on the 1 step ahead of the spider album(track4). I own it on cassette. under the american label.

I saw him once on MTV 180minutes.

but what happend to mc 900ft jesus after "truth is out of style" and "if I only had a brain" where did he go? I saw him once on MTV 180minutes.

he totally left the music industry..he still had a contract with american recordings but never pursued it.. hes still out in detroit and turns up on the net every 4 years or so to say he hasnt done any music.. i cant believe we never got anything after 1 step ahead of the spider..thats such a great album!!!

That is weird. Wonder what pushed him to quit?
Him and KLF are two acts I wish had made more music in the 90's.

Is it better to quit on top? Fade out quiet? Or continue to put out sub par albums on independent record labels?

[Hero1]

he did say after they toured one step they came back and the band recorded new material but he said none of it was even close to one step ahead of the spider..so it never got released.. i think the music industry is what pushed him away..he didnt want any part of it.. so he says hes relaxing flying planes or sumthin
