Rancho Diablo - 1995 Chicken World



RANCHO DIABLO formed in February 1993.Melody Maker tipped them as the Stars For '94, describing them as a "swaggering combination of electro-noise and guitar debauchery" whilst the NME declared them to be "sleazy noiseniks".
In October 1994 the band emerged, ravaged and demented after five months of studio madness, bearing their debut album, "CHICKEN WORLD". The album, containing 10 chunks of vehemence, is a surreal insight into the extraordinary, seething and grotesque world that is RANCHO DIABLO.
They are probably the closest any British band came to sound of Ministry.Allthough it sounds a little flat at times, it is a great album which would benefit greately by little bit of remastering. Pity is it didn't sell all that well back in 95 when it was released, so I don't think that it ever will be remastered. You'll just have to turn it a bit louder than, wouldn't you?
Band members:
STEPHEN MARTIN -vocals.
ADAM D. JOHN - lead guitar.
