About
Controlling Crowds is the 8th studio album released by Archive, being released in Europe on March 29th 2009. The album was played in its entirety through Myspace. Rosko John, who did the rap vocals on the first album Londinuim, appears on tracks Quiet Time,Bastardised Ink and Razed To The Ground, and Graham Preskett, who already worked with Archive on the Michel vaillant soundtrack, collaborates once again with Archive in Controlling Crowds. The main theme of the album is the human obsession of domination, and control, hence the name "Controlling Crowds". The album is divided in 3 parts, the first one composed of Controlling Crowds ; Bullets; Words on Signs; Dangervisit; Quiet Time, the second part of Collapse / Collide; Clones; Bastardised Ink; Kings of Speed; Whore and the third part with Chaos; Razed to the Ground; Funeral. A fourth part was going to be added, but finally it was decided that it will be released as a full album in 2010. The track Pills, a song from part 4, is on the official site. A limited version of the cd will be released, including tracks Killing All Movement, Children They Feed, Day That You Go, Neatly Folded and the music video for Bullets, first single of the album, released on January 5th and only avaible through download.
