Ralph Carmichael And The Young People ‎– "Our Front Porch" (Light Records ‎– LS-5560-LP) 1970

Hot outta Waco, two decades before David Koresh was literally on fire in the same hick town, we had 'The Young People',under the auspices and guidence of christ obsessed composer Ralph Carmichael.
He followed Gods callin' and got a groovy bunch of kids together to play some of that soul inflected Sunshine Pop that was so popular in the late sixties, with the added ingredient of some Bible thumpin' lyrics designed to save our souls.....or rather save arseholes.
Back in the eclectic days of the nineties,I couldn't get enough of anything on Light records,and this was a particular favourite of mine.Full of foot tappin' tunes, great breaks ,wah-wah guitar and uplifting vocal harmonies.This is Jesus gettin' funky,with a hefty dose of traditional Christian naffness. Aw bless 'em,they,Christians,were never the sharpest tools in the box in the first place,never mind being intellectually lazy enough to just accept the first,and easiest answer that came within earshot;then not bothering to actually check out other, more feasible,explanations for how,rather than why, we are here.You know, the ones with evidence and stuff!?
"Er...why are we here?......I know, God did it, now I don't have to hurt my brain understanding evolution."......Duh!
But, if there were no christians we wouldn't have these de-satanised versions of rock and pop music for us Kool kids to laugh at,but secretly like.

Our Generation ‎– "Dawning Of The Day" (Generation Records ‎– LPM/S 500) 1971

Please Jesus Save Our Children from your Followers!
This is Our Generation's debut album,and it's easily the equal of their follow up,"Praise and Prayer"
These kids must have been locked in a cupboard in 1966,and let out once they'd accepted Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. The last music they heard was some trendy Fuzz laden Garage rock,and they had no idea that things had moved on by 1971.
Failing that, they were probably put together, boy band style, by some letchy preacher to penetrate the kids minds as well as other places on kids bodies that preachers like to penetrate.
Shameless propaganda this may be, but its rather listenable.I hardly ever listen to the lyrics anyhow,so as Acid Garage goes its not too bad. "Love" in particular is a Fuzz soaked classic, albeit one that plagarizes Ray Manzarek's keyboard part for 'Light My Fire'(Why anyone would want to do that I dunno!?).Most of the bible is plagarized from earlier sources anyway, so if its ok by God we can all do it.

nb: I'm sure they're Americans,but I did hear a clear Dutch accent for the intro of 'Can You Make It'.

Our Generation ‎– "Praise And Prayer" (Generation Records ‎– OG 1072) 1972

"How do we get their children?" Asked the half-witted Evangelist.
God said, "Set the words of the gospels to the modern sounds of pop music"
"What? Like Acid Rock, or Garage Fuzz Psych?, volunteered the Moron.
"NO!" barked God, "This is 1972, all that stuff was out in 1968, try Jazz Fusion, or Prog Rock,better still Glam Rock! Thats what the kids are listening to in 1972!!"
"Sorry, didn't hear that, you're breaking up! said the Moron, "We'll stick with the Fuzzy Psych then? Thanks God."
"Oh for fucks sake!" sayeth God,"...and I made these idiots in my image!? Jesus H. Christ!"
(Jesus)..."Yes father?"
"Forget that Prog Group you're forming son,its yet another waste of my eternal time!"

Indeed, the God Squad were always a few years too late to latch onto the possibilities spreading their simplistic explanation for existence with edgy music from the eternal 'Now'.
The first track however sounds like The Strawberry Alarm Clock with Wobble and Donut from PiL's first album. Its rather good.
The rest of the album is reasonably decent Acid Psych of the kind that existed between 1965 to '67, which all the hip kids of 1972, when this was released, had long forgotten about. Thats why Lenny Kaye made that Nuggets Collection, because everyone had forgot about those Garage Fuzz bands like The leaves ,Seeds etc.
If you were caught listening to The Seeds in 1972, instead of Emerson Lake and Palmer, you would have been a laughing stock.
So this album,doubles up on the naffness with the Christian message, atop of a musical style that was definitely 'Out'.
There is some beyond great Fuzz guitar on track 5, "Praise" by the way, the rest is filler.
Meanwhile church attendances are getting lower and lower, and the average age Older and Older. Shame.

Jeremy Spencer And The Children ‎– "Jeremy Spencer And The Children" - ( Columbia ‎– KC 31990) 1972

Fleetwood Mac were undoubtedly rubbish,but they did have enough personel turmoil to fill at least a few episodes of Coronation Street. Not only did group originator Peter Green go nuts and become a down and out vagrant,well before the americanised version of the group started sleeping with each other then marrying and divorcing ABBA style. Also guitarist Jeremy Spencer disappeared during a tour of the USA in the early seventies, only to turn up as a brainwashed zombie in The Children Of God cult!?
A tenure during which,after fathering various children by several different female brainwashees,or brainwashettes, he made this very Beatles-a-like album. Rather too professional sounding for my liking,made by someone who knew what he was doing....musically anyway.If you really knew what you were doing you wouldn't join one of these silly cults would you?Dear-o-dear Jeremy,what were you thinking....or not thinking in this case.I blame the drugs.

The All Saved Freak Band ‎– "Brainwashed" (Rock The World Enterprises ‎– NR 5974) 1976

They say that the Devil has all the best tunes.....well.....here's evidence that he may well have.
As Christian Rock goes, this ain't half bad,but that ain't sayin' much.
As a kid at primary school,we had a god fearing headmaster, who tried to force christianity on us at all opportunities.So we had to walk into the daily assembly to the sound of Cat Stevens crooning 'Morning Has Broken', or 'KumBya' or the dreadful 'Lord Of The Dance'!? The Hippie teachers didn't need much excuse to whip out the acoustic guitar and inflict some modern hymns on us all. Even worse, Miss Pile had a warble like Joan Baez that hit our young ears like a pneumatic drill.(luckily the rest my education was purely secular)
No wonder we all became Atheists.......except Kerry Ground, who was exempt from this torture because,as it turned out, she was a Jew!!!! I didn't even know what a Jew was,nevermind that Kerry wasn't the 'same' as us.....now we knew who to single out as 'Different'.
Yes Christian pop/rock/metal is shite. Classical gets away with it because no-one listens to it.
The All Saved Freak Band were still playing that light weight Grateful dead Psych in 1980 (as were the Dead themselves!?),and this is the main problem with Christian attempts to be 'down with the kids',no matter how hard they try,they are always well behind the curve. Ever heard any Christian Rap? It's even shitter than actual Rap...if thats possible.Too shit for me to take the piss even!
At least this band had a small amount of humour and self-depreciation shown by the title of this album. Lead guitarist Glenn Schwarz had just been released from his Reprogramming therapy after being kidnapped by his birth family.....still spouting christian propaganda.So the ironically titled "Brainwashed", is a reference to the outsiders view that they were all brainwashed.Little did they ever consider that they obviously were.
Silly fuckers.

The All Saved Freak Band ‎– "My Poor Generation" (Rock The World Enterprises 730605) 1973

Glenn Schwartz used to be in the incredibly shit James Gang,apparently(?), before he found Jesus,joined a cult and joined an even shitter band.
Based out of a Christian commune near Orwell, Ohio, The 'All Saved Freak Band',included about 12 members,like an Electric Light Orchestra from a christian purgatory,complete with Cello's, violins and woodwind to back up the tired message.Sadly there is no Jeff Lynne or brummy humour to save us from the wailing and a gnashing of rotten hippie teeth here!Yes, everyone in this band are safe from hell's torment,unlike you and me,and they wanna tell us about it....a lot!
In February 1975,Glenn Schwartz's family had him kidnapped for an intense, three-day "deprogramming" effort by a famed cult deprogrammer called Ted Patrick. The attempt was,predictably, unsuccessful. So we had to endure even more albums for brown-nosing the holy ghost to after this debut,self-released, disc.

The music is some hybrid of boroque hippie folk and standard late sixties acid rock......not my cuppa tea,but as i like 'Cults',there is some much needed mental illness involved,so it interests one somewhat.

Ya Ho Wha 13 ‎– "The Operetta" (Swordfish Records ‎– YHVHCD3) 1975

Not that all the original Ya Ho Wa 13 albums actually received a proper well distributed release at all,this collection of 'previously unreleased ' material from 1975 has been sourced from the archive of drugged up jams made at the Source Family home.
Contrary to his Yod-like status,this wasn't made after his death, but before Father Yod decided to jump off a cliff having never used a Hang-glider before. At least this ill-advised decision made hundreds of young hippie girls safe from his filthy wandering beatnik fingers. 
Dunno about any Operetta,but it wouldn't surprise me if Yod,Jim Baker, thought very highly of his vocal attributes,but he certainly had some kind of God or Yod complex.
The music, is the same chaotic free acid rock jams, with Father's throaty cries and chants permeating the mess.It shouldn't do, but it works.

Ya Ho Wa 13 ‎– "Savage Sons Of Ya Ho Wa" (Higher Key Records ‎– 3306) 1974

Father Yod in all his generousity and grace, gave his 'sons' the chance to make their own record without his gong skills and throaty seal-like barking.
The result is this totally normal record, of the kind of normal Acid Rock songs you'd hear on the Banana Splits Show.
The cover is a good one however,with the Aquarius Brothers,Sunflower,Octavius,Djin and Rhythm, posing in front of the source cult mansion in Hollywood and Yod's roller, dressed as native American Jesus's. A Rolls Royce is thee must have accessory for any aspiring cult leader.
An interesting juxtapostion between capitalism,insulting indigenous peoples,and hyprocritical hippie bullshit philosophy.
The music definitely misses Yod's madness......just as I'd written him off as a talentless creep!?

Ya Ho Wa 13 ‎– "Ya Ho Wa 13" (Higher Key Records) 1974

Father Yod,inbetween bouts of 'sex sans orgasm' with teenage women,literally broke his back for the Source Family cause,aka the Father Yod cult.On August 25 1975, YaHoWha “left his body” nine hours after his debut hang-gliding flight straight into some rocks in Hawaii.They kept his body for three and a half days chanting Yod He Vau He,but ,unlike Jesus,he never rose again to walk the Earth.This is nothing unusual as Jesus,contrary to popular belief in some stone-age influenced time warps on this planet, didn't either!  

This eponymously titled self-made album of source family acid rock jams is ,in some ways,the psychedelic equivalent of doing the same thing with music.Except that this still stalks our terrestrial domain looking for disciples to fuck up. If the bible was converted into a musical by a bunch of drugged up hippies fronted by a grey haired svengali and his hareem of teenage girlies,then maybe i would have bothered to have engaged with the story a bit more.As long as I didn't have anything to do with them of course.

This is what rock music should be like,that rare modicum of pure liquid madness mixed with raw incompetence and cluelessness,leading to the accidental treasures that appeared under the auspices of Ya Ho Wa 13.

Way better than the Grateful Dead,who are shite,in fact I'd say,in my opinion, that these nutjobs are best American 2nd wave Psych Band in existence.....probably?

Fire, Water, Air (Ya Ho Wa 13 with Sky Saxon) ‎– "Golden Sunrise" ( Higher Key Records ‎– ELR-84510) 1977

Out of all the 'Cults' who thought they were musical genius's, Ya Ho Wa 13 were probably the most proficient.'Fire,Water,Air' were an offshoot fronted by garage psych legend Sky Saxon.They were so cut off from what was happening outside their world that it remained 1969 forever,even in 1977.Just like in my world it's permanently 1980, so who can blame them? Not me...in fact i actively encourage it,like a version of the Lost World,complete with dinosaurs,of the musical kind.
'Golden' is a much used adjective among the cult community, and the post Yod death Ya Ho Wa 13 weren't gonna be left out.
Their guru, Father Yod, may have died a couple of years earlier in a bizarre hang gliding accident in Hawaii, but his influence was still looming large amongst his devotees.One of whom was Sky Saxon late of The seeds, who was a long term hanger-on at his Yodship's commune.

L. Ron Hubbard ‎– "Space Jazz" (Applause Records ‎– APLP 9000) 1982

If The Residents got together with Andrew Lloyd Webber and made a musical it would sound exactly like this.
"Space Jazz" the soundtrack to the book,'Battlefield earth'.
The Fairlight makes a major appearance under the auspices of Nicky Hopkins,late of The Jeff Beck Group,and Jazzer legend Chick Corea.
Christ on a stick, Stanley Clarke was a Scientologist?He's on this too!?
It does indeed sound like a Residents after 1984 concept album,its that bad,but a lot weirder.I saw a Residents live show in 2000,and they could have just been miming to this crazy concept musical by L. Ron Hubbard for all I knew.I reckon Hubbard had heard 'The Mark of the Mole',and saw the Mole Show,then, like rich cult leaders do, he wanted to do it himself.There's Ron at the controls on the back cover.I can imagine L.Ron donning an Eyeball head, can't you?
There's a creepy alien voice that interjects and I'm sure it says the five letter word 'Trump' several times, and once it even utters the full name of the destroyer of the western world!?...Did L.Ron know something that we didn't?
Is Scientology gonna save us from the Trumpster and his legal aliens?
Er....nah!...Hopefully they will wipe each other out and leave us all alone.

As it modestly announces on the album sleeve:

"Space Jazz is an original musical form based on the recently developed Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument (Fairlight CMI). It marks the point where computer technology caught up with musicians. Space Jazz is the first real computer music that will appeal to mass public. It antiquates past music like the cathedral organ wiped away blowing on a blade of grass. Listeners are treated to the adventure and unexpected delights of discovering a totally new musical concept in this innovative album."......yeah right!?

The Apollo Stars ‎– "Power Of Source" (L. Ron Hubbard ‎– SE 1001) 1974

He may, or may not, have started Scientology for a bet with his sci-fi author buddies back in the fifties,but of all the cult leaders he's probably the only one who was in a Jazz Fusion band.
Yes that's Ron with the cap and headphones....always ahead of his time,as all good,or bad, Science Fiction writers should be.
Scientology has all the hall marks of something that was dreamt up one evening,like a living pulp-science fiction novel.So,it wouldn't surprise me that this club of sinister androids hadn't started as a joke and far too many people took it seriously. Maybe Jesus did the same thing. We know the book of Mormon was a confidence trick,so why not Christianity,or even Scientology.
L.Ron's Jazz Fusion band ain't actually too bad.He just wasn't able to pull The Apollo Stars off as well as he did Scientology;but it didn't stop him from trying......that's the real lesson of Scientology.

L. Ron Hubbard ‎– "Ron's Journal 67" (Golden Era Productions ‎– 6709 C20) 1967/1983

40 minutes of Ron on a paranoid rant about how various media organistaions,and governments are out to get him and his Church.
It sounds very similar to a Donald Trump speech on fake news, but far more articulate. Plenty of accusations of lies, and them and us politics,but i'm sure L.Ron would be only too pleased to welcome immigrants into his organistaion,and build a wall to keep the population in, rather than out.
Let us all pray that The Church of Trump will fail to emulate the sucess of Scientology and be consumed by the cheap hate that it peddles.
Like Trump, Hubbard seems to actually believe his own science fiction project,as much as the Donald believes in his own vacuous policies.Thankfully L. Ron isn't around anymore....on this planet anyway(?)...or he would be running for President of the free world,and stealthily removing the word 'free' from his job description.

L. Ron Hubbard / Yvonne Gillham Jentzsch ‎– "The Golden Dawn & The Aims Of Scientology - A Record About Scientology" (Axioms Records ‎– A8-8008) 1972

It says on the cover that "Scientology is an applied religious philosophy".They and the Buddha boys, like to use the word philosophy to give them some credibility.
At least The Scientologists admit to a religious aspect, but once a philosophy is applied, then it becomes a belief system.
That weird brainwashed sounding aussie bird,aka the Director of the "Celebrity Center for the creation of a higher Civilization(?)" is back to explain to us death fearers what its all about.

Its very meaningful sounding, but essentially meaningless reapeated platitudes from thousands of years of mankind trying to, as L. Ron says, "Salvage the Human Soul",and Hubbard is no exception when he promises eternal life within these crackling grooves.

The closing lines of side A do briefly allow us non-club members our own mind before we take the plunge,and I quote; "If you do not care to be accepted, that is your freedom"....thanks Ron,I'll excercise that freedom you have so kindly granted me....other people aren't so lucky.

L. Ron Hubbard / Yvonne Gillham ‎– "My Philosophy: Selected Works Of L. Ron Hubbard" (Axioms Records ‎– TCTP 8000) 1971

As creepy as Scientologists seem to be,almost without exception, I don't think L. Ron can be accused of the same pervy crimes that most other cultleaders are undoubtedly very guilty of.
This endless psychobabble can sound ,at times, like complete common sence,and one can clearly see why this philosfoohey of the bleeding obvious appeals to one dimensional nothings like John Travolta and Tom Cruise. There is something fundamentally disquieting about enforced 'Happiness'.A wide beaming smile can hide a whole range of personality disorders,hence the use of the phrase 'Happy House' as an alternative reference for a secure mental institution.
This stuff is the new Buddhism,obvious but unattainable solutions to obvious and,sadly, too attainable problems.They pride themselves on not only being a 'godless' belief, but also claim a scientific and psychotherapuetic basis to their beliefs. Again the word 'Love' is used often to deflect from the clear mind controlling methods that are applied.........Nah, it ain't mind control it's Love,you're part of the problem.
Both Buddhism and Scientology also have recognizable Gods.One being Buddha himself,and the other, noneother than Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, pulp science fiction writer,musician,inventor and cult leader.
I don't have to tell you that this is weird as fuck!.....and ,knowing the reputation of Scientolgy's zero tolerence policy for anyone who slags them off in any way, this may be the last thing I write before I get closed down for the third time.

Movie Star John Travolta, failed teen idol Leif Garrett, jazz legend Chick Corea and other fucked up failed celebs, get together to flesh out Dianetics guru, L. Ron Hubris's compositions on this toe-curlingly baaaad album. If this convinced anyone to become a Scientologist after absorbing its very eighties production values and creepy joy, then they probably already were in the first place.
Pseudoscience-fiction writer,L. Ron wanted to show off his newly purchased Fairlight to a modern audience,and ended up with a shadow version of the 'Ghostbusters' soundtrack. 
The fact that its so cleanly produced only adds a more spooky stepford wives essence to the usual sinister aire that Scientologists radiate.....I mean, Tom Cruise for fucks sake!?

Jim Jones ‎– "Jonestown Death Tape" (Stalker Records ‎– SR003) 1978

If a god told you to jump off a cliff would you do it?......er No, but i'll drink some Cyanide.Yeah, that'll show 'em!
Drugged up bible thumping commie, Reverend James W. Jones ,less than subtly suggested everyone kill themselves to 'step over from this world' to achieve peace. The silence at the end of part two of this casssette recording of the suicide event,seems to suggest that peace was indeed found, but only after all the screaming children had succumbed to the crude death potion the leaders had prepared for the, mostly, willing victims.
The most amusing aspect of all this,if you can find an amusing aspect,which I believe can be found in any situation;is that this alternative lifestyle,or alternative to life,was funded by welfare checks.So much so that they managed to leave around seven million dollars to the USSR in their collective wills;including half a million in cash in a suitcase that was supposed to be delivered to the Soviet Embassy in Georgetown.The suitcase courier was one of the lucky ones as he survived to tell the tale,incredibly after dumping the suitcase.....were these people dumb or what?
One assumes that the People's Church Choir were among the screaming victims as they convulsed before death in great pain.So we can see this tape as their farewell recording,or second album.
I've added a bonus track from one of the few survivors Laurie Kahalas,who 'channeled' this painfully weird poem in 1974,predicting,so she reckons, this future event within its cryptic structure. It also demonstrates why these people found it hard to fit in.

People's Temple Choir ‎– "He's Able" (Brotherhood Records ‎– NPC-3) 1973

Hey!These guys weren't bad. I wonder why they never did any more records?....nothing to do with the fact that they all drank a tasty drink laced with lashings of Cyanide on holiday in Jonestown, Guyana a few years later?So,do you fancy a bit of Gospel music to ease the shock? No?.....well I don't blame you.
Especially if its sung by the brainwashed members of  the Reverend Jim Jones' People's Temple.
Yes, the very same lot who,proudly, hold the world record for mass suicide.If anyone out there wants to try and beat it,you will need to be adjudicated by a representative from the fabulous Guinness Book Of World Records for it to count.You have been warned.Maybe a mass suicide of Trump supporters when they lose the next election? Trump will pay for the cyanide i'm sure.
The not so very Reverend Jim W. Jones preached a curious mixture of Communism and Christianity which resulted in the murder of some U.S. officials in Guyana, and the mass suicide of over 900 men, women and children.
But at least they made a recording of their creepy Gospel meets Sesame Street style of praising the lord before they...er...split up?...in this case,it's permanent.There will be no reformation tour,unless its one of those tours with no original members in the line-up.
Reverend Jim also made a far more disturbing recording actually made during the mass suicide of church members in 1978.....but that certainly ain't gospel singing I can guarantee you that.....Fear not,if you prefer the screams of dying children to any Gospel singing (like me) then that particular tape is for you.Whats more, it's up next for all you shameless ghouls out there.

David Koresh - "Home Recordings 1990-93" (Bootleg) 1993

In downtime on the Ranch, in between shooting at FBI agents, and the odd bit of statutory raping, Dave the Messiah would play a bit of divine pop music. 
Some of it was captured in the foggy medium of ferric oxide cassette tape, which gives these already spooky toons a further ghostly quality that sends chills even further up your spine.
Human beings are bloody dangerous, especially Human beings with delusions of grandeur armed with electric guitar and marshall stack!......that could actually describe a lot of rock and metal acts out there today!
If Koresh was allowed to have a local hit maybe he would have forgot that he was actually 'Jesus' mark 2? He just craved the attention he was denied as a child and lots of compliant women to have sex with...that's all!?....the average life of a Rock Star is it not?

Vernon Wayne Howell, otherwise known as David Koresh, or Jesus, thought of himself as a minor rock star,and before he immolated himself ,his many kids,and followers to death in the Davidian Cult HQ in Waco.Where he recorded lots of terrible adult orientated rock numbers for posterity.
When Dave wasn't exercising his exclusive rights to have sex with all the female members of the sect, be they under-age or married, Koresh, plugged in his axe into his massive PA system and wrote some soft rock ballads in tribute to the glory of God....ie himself.
Apparently he had a tough childhood, an estranged paedophile for a father,abandoned by mummy, and learning difficulties.So poor lickle Vernon was ripe pickings for the esteem raising possibilities of cult leadership.
Once enthroned at the Davidian ranch HQ, he even got away with attempting to murder his rival for the throne,who was found guilty of murdering another group member. Koresh, got off the attempted murder trial on a technicality, leaving him free to attain living god status, and sing his tunes to an adoring audience of his own children. He fathered over a bakers dozen worth of children, mainly bore by the wives of his followers, and in some cases the children of the very same people.He was free from prosecution because he had the consent of the parents to have sex with their daughters!?.....yep, this was in Texas.
The famous seige began in 1993 with a raid by the  Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms looking for guns...and they found them.Generally in the hands of demented brainwashed cultists shooting in their general direction, killing four agents!
A stand off ensued with the FBI, while our Dave wrote his massive 12 page theological statement about the Seven Seals (whatever they are?),which took days to write,the slowness of which was excused by the fact that he had difficulty spelling......yes thats right, Jesus can't spell!?

Vernon Howell in action.

No, Not Mick Ronson, Its the messiah!

I must warn you that several of the sect's members said that they were recruited by Koresh's music, so, listen with caution,or you too could have your girlfriend,wife, or daughter knocked up by a varifocaled,mullet sporting messiah.Then burned to death in a hopeless face off with the authorities.

Shoko Asahara - "Lord Death's Counting Song" (Aum Shinrikyo Records) 1990

Theres not many artists featured on this blog that have been executed,but here's one,if 'artist' is the right word for a mentally ill cult leader who thought he was Jesus?

Founder and leader of the Aum Shinrikyo cult, Shoko Asahara was sentenced to die by hanging,for his role in the Tokyo subway sarin gas attacks in 1995 and was finally executed by hanging on July 6, 2018, at the Tokyo Detention House 23 years later.But,not before he treated the surviving members ofthe human race to some of his child-like songwriting skills.

He also wrote a book called "Declaring Myself the Christ",a bit shocking that, as I thought I was the Christ,not some Japanese nutjob! Ah well,I'll have to get used to being mortal again I guess!?

The music is basically as shit as his paranoid ,anti-semitic, conspracy riddled philosophy.

His purported mission was to take others' sins upon himself, and he claimed he could transfer spiritual power to his followers. He saw dark conspiracies everywhere, promulgated by the Jews, the Freemasons, the Dutch, the British Royal Family, and rival Japanese religions.Good to see he chose some different targets for a change,and also added the obvious suspects to the mix.....The Dutch!!!?

Shoko outlined a doomsday prophecy, which included a third World War, and described a final conflict culminating in a nuclear "Armageddon",Asahara often preached the necessity of Armageddon for "human relief". He eventually declared, "Put tantra Vajrayana into practice in accordance with the doctrines of Mahamudra," and he then initiated a series of terrorist attacks,culminating in the nerve gas attack in Tokyo.

Luckily his defence team didn't play his music in court or he would have been executed immediatly.

Michael Mills - "Turn Me On Deadman: Hidden Satanic Messages In Rock Music" (Christian Radio Show) 1981

If there was one person the word 'Twat' was made for, it's American Christian Radio evangelist, Michael Mills.
He could see the work of Satan in any rock act, be it Adam and the 'Ant'....he couldn't even get the group names right,like the Church Universal and Triumphant invocation against rock music....or the frighteningly evil Electric Light Orchestra!
His imaginative attempts at uncovering back masking are particularly laughable.
The Phrase "Number Nine", from The Beatles "Revolution no.9", when played backwards, allegedly says, "Turn me on Deadman".Aside from it being very debatable as to what words it could possibly sound like,what the fuck is he going on about? What Deadman? Turn me on to what?...I can hazard a guess, but this is just another example of the Christians need to take everything literally, until 2+2 = 36.
Queen's, 'Another one bites the dust', when reversed, proclaims, "Some of Us Smoke Marajuana",....er...yes.....and????...not that it says that at all.Its just music playing backwards.Play enough music backwards and you could reveal a backwards masked version of the complete works of Shakespeare if you were so motivated,or certifiably Insane.
Over several separate Led Zep tracks, he finds several unconnected phrases that mean Robert,Jimmy,and John Paul had visited Hell.Probably to visit their drummer 'Bonzo', who had died the year previously. They said,in reverse, "Listen, We've Been There".....oh, that'd be Hell obviously!?...."Because I Live"..who?.."Serve Me"..again, who?..."there's No escaping It"..escaping what?.."Satan"...."If We"....."Gotta Live For satan"...."Master Satan".....all damning evidence, from at least a few different albums.Except that the damning evidence is that Michael Mills is undeniably simple and deluded,a veritable 1st class college degree in the world of Evangelism.
In fact to get on Mills's list is a badge of honour for any group,or intelligent person.If you can get death threats from the Klu Klux Klan then you know you're doing something right at least.Although,looking at some of the acts on his blacklist,I would willingly help the Klan in any way they asked me to....and try and direct their hate in the direction of The Eagles first.
You'd have to wonder what Michael would make of 'Whitehouse','Con-Dom' or any of the Power Electronics mob.Trouble is if you play any of those records backwards,they sound exactly the same as they do going in the correct direction.
Unfortunately for Michael Mills, scientific studies have shown “zero evidence to support such a claim and suggest that the apparent presence of backward messages in popular music is more a function of active construction on the part of the perceiver than of the existence of the messages themselves.
”Turn him off Deadman!"

Church Universal And Triumphant, Inc. Featuring Elizabeth Clare Prophet ‎– "Invocations for the destruction of Rock Music) ( Faithways International ) 1984/2001

I mentioned that there were little or no Female cult leaders in the "Lord of Lords" post;well I forgot about Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and the Church Universal and Triumphant.
Expecting a Soviet attack on the Ides of March 1990, the complete loonie toons of the Church Universal and Triumphant sect,sold everything to buy food,guns and ammunition, to retreat into their nuclear bunker to survive and spread the word....mainly about how nasty Rock Music was. The fact that after a nuclear Holocaust its unlikely that any Rock bands would have survived;and even if they did I doubt they'd feel like churning out their hits with the radiation sickness, lack of food an'all.
But, just in case some of these demons survived, they kindly recorded these chants and other moments of deranged madness to educate the mutants who would inherite the wastelands of Earth not to fall into the same trap.
Educate it will, if there's any electricity to play this disc, so the Mutants wouldn't be stupid enough to raise any religious beliefs from the ashes of that former civilisation.

I do, however, 100% agree with Elizabeth Clare Prophet's invocation against Rock Music, so I may have joined them in their underground bunker to avoid that Soviet nuclear attack that never came in 1990. Oh how foolish would I have felt after emerging into police custody and charged with illegal possesion of an automatic weapon.or worse, illegal possession of a wart,dancing with a mailman,and marrying a horse.(I paraphrase of course,from dodgy perv comedy genius Woody Allen's classic "Take The Money and Run"...pretty much a perfect title for most religious sects methinks?)
Unfortunately, doomsday never came, and Cindy looper (sic) still lives to spread her evil, along with:
(there are some exceptions*/** who have now followed Elizabeth to burn in Hell,but a lot are still harming our childrens ears and s0-called minds....so let us pray:

"All perversions of the third eye
Through distorted and exaggerated images
Perverted movements of the body and breakdancing
And other forms of dancing
And we especially call for the judgement in this hour
And the destroying of rock music directed
Specifically against children
Through the videos that were portrayed
And working specifically through these individuals
For whom we call for
The judgement of the sacred fire of this hour
Before the throne of almighty god

Sai Baba ‎– "Embodiment Of Love" (Premasound ‎– PS 108) 2000

As previously stated, Alice Coltrane bore a passing resemblance to Cult leader and serial pervert Shri Sathya Sai Baba. He also shared another trait with the lovely Alice, in the fact that he made records of his incredibly creepy devotional music.
This is a common behaviour within the world of the cult leader. David Koresh, Chuck manson and Rev Jim Jones all have records out there, but I think our Sai made the creepiest ones.Just waiting for some Islamic State albums to hit the market,and I'll be happy.
Sai's sexual crimes have been well documented,and looking at the album cover you have to wonder what the fuck is he doing with his hands?.......he looks like he's wanking off to me!?
With a specific taste in deflowering young boys, "The Embodiment Of Love", the album's title, forced a little bit of my stomach contents back into my mouth.In the case of some of his younger followers,I dread to think what their stomach contents were after visting the holy one in his personal tent!?
It's all Alice Coltranes fault,but i feel a detour into the creepy land of Cult music coming on......and I don't mean 'The Cult', i mean religious and hippie Doomsday cults.....so expect some Amon Duul,Chuck Manson and The Church Universal and Triumphant with Rev Elizabeth Claire.If you thought the music you like was weird,this stuff is a special kind of fresh madness.
