9. Four Score And (Some Drum N' Bass)
10. A Failsafe

A 45 minute rush of tinnitus, contrary techno, fragile guitars, anti-social drum'n'bass in 7/4 and, if you listen carefully, the sound of 20,000 people finding rooms in their heads they never knew were there. The DVD accompanying this release is '65DOC' a road movie, captured by 65 conspirator Caspar Newbolt, over the course of the North American leg of the tour.

This release captures 65daysofstatic at a crossroads. With the last album behind them and their heads filling up with ideas, 65days move ever onwards. This is not just a sedge-way release. They have always shined their brightest as a live band and these recordings are the closest they have come so far to capturing that spark.

This DVD accompanies the Escape From New York CD, 65DOC a road movie, captured by 65 conspirator Caspar Newbolt, over the course of the North American leg of the tour. Seven weeks
of 65s Cure support shows, interweaved with their own headline shows, in the alternative/punk clubs, playing to the cute indie kids who came out to see them. Gasp at the audacity of a band so inarticulate they have to be subtitled! Laugh at the blind naivety of a band who have been on the road long enough to believe, that they are doing something that hasnt been done a thousand times before! Dance to the spectacle of 65daysofstatic twisting The Cures lighting rig into spasms of strobe and confusion! This release captures 65daysofstatic at a crossroads. With the last album behind them and their heads filling up with ideas, 65days move ever onwards. This is not just a sedge-way release. They have always shined their brightest as a live band and these recordings are the closest they have come so far to capturing that spark.

[me]Buy it! It's totally worthed!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

65daysofstatic began in Sheffield, United Kingdom in 2001 as Iain Armstrong, Paul Wolinski and Joe Fro. Contrary to popular belief, they did not originally form to try to write music to fit the unreleased and little known John Carpenter film, ‘Stealth Bomber’ (starring Kurt Russell). Instead, they took their name from the 1954 CIA-backed coup d’etat in Guatemala. There, the CIA put a white book instrument to use in which 65 days of disabling the communication systems of a nation while spreading propaganda is enough to overthrow a country.

65daysofstatic (also known by the abbreviation 65dos) are an instrumental electronic and post-rock band from Sheffield, UK. Their debut album, The Fall of Math, was released to critical acclaim and they have released a second album, One Time For All Time, which has also been well received.

The band intersperses heavy, progressive, guitar-driven instrumental sections with both idm-esque programmed and live drums. Their albums, as a result, maintain a distinctively gritty, almost industrial feel.

Armstrong left in May 2003, Feedle then joined for a brief period and played a part in writing the band’s first single from The Fall of Math, Retreat! Retreat! (video here). By the end of 2003 Rob Jones (drums) and Gareth (bass) had been recruited, increasing the band to four members. Gareth left around the time of the release of their debut album, The Fall of Math, to be replaced by Simon Wright. In 2005 they remixed PlayBurn from the album Crimson by Alkaline Trio. The track appears on one 7inch vinyl out of a set of 2.

Their new album, announced as ‘The Destruction of Small Ideas’, was released on the 30th of April 2007. Their new single, “Don’t Go Down To Sorrow,” was released on the 9th.
