"No New Tale To Tell" by Love and Rockets

The eclectic English band Love and Rockets was a mainstay on 120 Minutes in the 80s and early 90s. Daniel Ash (formerly of Bauhaus) and David J would trade lead vocal duties, and their music ran from straight rock and pop to weird techno and semi-industrial.

Before they crossed over into the mainstream in 1989 with their sexually charged smash, "So Alive," which went to #3, Love and Rockets were racking up fans with classic cuts like "Ball Of Confusion" and this one, "No New Tale To Tell." There is a world of lyrical difference between these tunes. We go from "You cannot go against nature because if you do, going against nature is part of nature, too" to "I feel I'm on top again baby, that's got everything to do with you...oo oo."

Be careful if you watch the video as these guys look like they are recruiting for a cult.
