about

Aloha!

This is a rough demo version of Sharp as a Knife, the classic track originally recorded by Roxanne Shante back in the 80s at the height of the Acid Craze.

Depending on how (if) it turns out, this track may appear on Holiday '18.

I created a few variations of the cover artwork for this song as well.

Check out how amazing the lyrics are...seriously.

Electronically Yours,

John.

lyrics

Listen to me very close
This is something that you need to hear the most
Now this is a rap about life
'Cause this cuts you yes, it's as sharp as a knife
Don’t go too far can't you see
I am known as your destiny
I am the future in your life
You may call me sharp just like a knife

I'm with you wherever you go
Wherever you are you will see me
'Cause I am known, just as your life
Stick to you just like your wife
Cut you down just like a knife
And don’t have me repeat it twice

Don’t you hear the voice inside?
It's telling you that you can’t hide

Trying to get away, trying to go far
I just like you like a car
Trying to get away, trying to go far
I just like you like a car

Sharp as a knife [x3]

Parralox Melbourne, Australia

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more

This 5 track EP has been inspired by the crossover between ambient, techno, and pure sound design. Sounds amazing. John. Parralox

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit
