![]() I’m not one of those singers that does vocal exercises and stuff like that… it’s much more straight forward than that. ![]() On ‘Psychocandy’ the vocals are often battling against all-out noise, but on ‘Darklands’ they’re much more distinct. We didn’t have a drummer so the decision was made. We could have gone either way – we could go down the drum machine route, or go down the drummer route. ![]() Part of it was that we didn’t have a drummer, as well. I – we – have always been suckers for that rock ‘n’ roll sound done with a drum machine. ‘Darklands’ is marked by the use of drum machines, but you’d experimented with those since the beginning of the band, hadn’t you? But to us, there would have been no point so we went away and came up with a different idea of The Mary Chain – which is, I guess, what you do with every album… you kinda reinvent your band with each new record. I think a lot of people would have been happy with that. 2 which there seemed to be a lot of pressure on us to do. We were pretty sure what we didn’t want to do. There’s two years between those records, and that was because we just needed to go back and re-think it and decide what we wanted to do. And say, probably six months after ‘Psychocandy’ we were a bit lost, and a bit in need of direction. The vibe at the time was that a lot of people were saying, ‘Psychocandy’ is great but you’re going to ruin it… split up! You can’t top that record! So we were a bit put out. We definitely did want to do something different. After its release, did you purposefully seek out a different path? Your debut album ‘Psychocandy’ was a colossal opening statement. With The Jesus And Mary Chain playing 'Darklands' - and it's associated singles and B-sides - on a variety of UK shows this week, Clash caught up with Jim Reid to discuss their influential album, their future plans, and why they still feel like perennial outsiders. Indeed, 'Darklands' is any many ways a greater summation of the band's sound than their seminal debut - the brooding songwriting, the 60s elements, and the pervasive sense of being trapped on the margins. Soaring to undreamt of heights - 'April Skies' became a bona fide hit, while 'Darklands' itself broke into the UK Top 10 - The Jesus And Mary Chain became an unlikely household name. Shorn of feedback, it revealed a songwriting duo infatuated with classicism while adding a brooding sense of introversion utilising drum machines, The Jesus And Mary Chain re-positioned themselves as black-clad purveyors of petrol-scented rock 'n' roll with a mechanised beat. ![]() With Alan McGee's instantly infamous 'art as terrorism' quote ringing in their ears, The Jesus And Mary Chain's central duo Jim and William Reid opted for something different on 1987 follow up project 'Darklands'. The band's ear-bleeding sound shredded classic pop - the girl group era, Spector's hits, surf pop, pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll - into a million pieces, while their blunt, ultra-short live shows attracted acrimony and violence. The Jesus And Mary Chain's debut album 'Psychocandy' was a feedback strewn line in the sand. ![]()

![]() You can designate which of those 3 areas is the TOP area, and if your health is within that range, you get a stats boost. There is also TOP, a system which divides your health bar up into 3 areas. Garou has the Just Defend System, which is SNK's answer to Street Fighter III's parry, with the difference being that Just Defends restore health. He also has a variant on his Power Wave where instead of the attack shooting forward, it instead flares up huge in front of him like a shield to block other projectiles and cancel them out. Unlike Ryu and Ken, he has some other pretty interesting attacks, like his Crack Shoot, which is an overhead kick that moves horizontally, but hits above, so it's a defense for jump in attacks, and his Power Tackle, which is a charging dash. He has a rising tackle, which is like a more vertical dragon punch, his burning knuckle, which is kinda like the Hurricane Kick in that it's a fast horizontal attack, and his Power Wave, which is like a fireball, but rides along the ground. His actual move list is very similar to Ryu or Ken, though. As mentioned as well, Fatal Fury also usually includes a dodge move, where the character will take a quick step into the background to side step an attack, usually giving you a wide open attack, almost like a parry in SF3. So you could get around attacks by running to the background, then moving forward, and running back to the foreground. You also had moves that would knock the opponent into either layer. All the fatal fury games prior to Garou had this system where the stages were in 2 tiers, a foreground and a back ground, and you could freely move between them. Probably the most iconic Fatal Fury thing would be the ability to step into the background and dodge attacks. Fatal Fury itself actually innovated a ton of features that other fighting games, street fighter included, copied. When his rumble meter is full, he can turn into Melmetal after doing a rumble attack.Depends on which version of Terry. (As Meltan's rumble meter increases, more Meltans will follow him, making his attacks stronger.
