Chemlab: Exile On Mainline
- Exile On Mainline (extended dance)
- Exile On Mainline (radio)
- Jesus Christ Pornostar (album version)
- Exile On Mainline (album version)
'Exile On Mainline' is the first single from the much anticipated new Chemlab
album of the same name. Having spent some time in the studio with Jared during
the recording of this album, I've actually had the luxury of having heard over
half of the new album at various points of completion. Yet, these final
versions are almost identical to their unmastered counterparts with the only
notable exception being their titles. The two album tracks on this single serve
only to wet the appetite of those fans who have been waiting almost three years
for a new Chemlab album. 'Exile' is a very stereotypical Chemlab track with
it's signature sampled guitar loops and driving percussion and Jared's
unmatched sense of lyrical irony. However 'Jesus Christ Porno Star' is a much
slower track, could almost be called a love song if one didn't know better. In
fact the track is a very innuendic poke at the Christian religious faith with
the added benefit of abusing Andrew Lloyd Webber's play of the approximate same
name. In any event, this single is an excellent example of the dual edged
musical approach that Jared has chosen to utilize on the new album which should
be released somewhere before the dawn of the new millennium.
