Once upon a time, a very long time ago, Does God Play Dice? was our fifth single. Released twenty years ago today, it was the last single from our second album Nemesis (1995).
For the first time, it was just a two-track single, on a cassette tape with a Side A (an edit of the title track) and a Side B, the previously unreleased Self Destruction. This was primarily decided by the cassette stock that was available to us - a 3:28 demo tape which we could easily record over. So there was one simple rule - each track had to be three and a half minutes or shorter.
It would be nearly another year and a half before our big return with 1997's Prologue EP, and we've come to see it in a way as the end of an era. The last release of our very early days...
Interestingly, today is also the fifteenth anniversary of our later single Electric Avenue. More on that later...
Nemesis is, by the way, surprisingly not that bad, unlike our debut effort Schizophrenia (1992). Hopefully we'll be able to share it with you one day.
