His years as a Triple J’s chief live session engineer meaning he had the perfect chops to capture the band at their brutal best while former Gang Of Four guitarist Andy Gill was entrusted to help main songwriter Josie complete ideas not fully realised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe recruitment of Gill was yet another coup for TMOC. In 1991 they had been the first Australian band to work with Steve Albini in 1995 the first Australian band to work with Henry Rollins and in 2001 the first Australian band to work with Andy Gill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eStanier had met the band back in 1993 when the two bands played together in Melbourne. Their mutual respect had them keep in touch and when the time came Stanier accepted the invitation to join the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe end result is a perfect encapsulation of what the band has always been about; intensity, precision and an unrelenting groove setting the foundation for the lyrics of J Scott that translate experiences such as alienation, rejection, anger and emotional exhaustion into the vocabulary of combat, discipline and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor this deluxe vinyl-edition of This is This, The Mark Of Cain have added two bonus studio tracks: \"Introspection\" (released initially as a b-side to the (R) Retaliate CD single) plus a previously unreleased Andy Gill extended mix of \"Lockdown\". Perhaps the real jewel in the crown though is an absolutely punishing 'Live at the Wireless' session for Triple J recorded in 2002 with the same line-up of Scott, Scott and Stanier. It will literally explode off your turntable. And all pressed on lovely sky-blue vinyl in an edition of 500 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Mark Of Cain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67237758894253,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/2363\/6141\/files\/TMOC_VinylMockup.jpg?v=1792108413","url":"https:\/\/magneticsouth.com.au\/products\/this-is-this-25th-anniversary-edition-blue-vinyl-2lp-500-pressed","provider":"Magnetic South Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
