Riffology: Iconic Rock Albums Podcast

Welcome to Riffology, where a GenX and a Millennial talk about the albums from their youth. Itโ€™s more fun than it soundsโ€ฆ

RIFF055 – Terrorvision – Formaldehyde
byRiffology

Join us for an expertly meandering 20-minute warm-up during which we forget what weโ€™re meant to be doing, then suddenly remember weโ€™re here to talk about Formaldehyde by Terrorvision.

Neil celebrates his birthday by buying his own fruit pastilles and reminiscing about heated car seats, while Chris contemplates the joys of nice soap and avoiding Glastonbury. Eventually, we discuss the album, including the bassistโ€™s optimistic confession that there was โ€œno plan Bโ€โ€”which, with hindsight, explains quite a lot.

Expect tangents, family chaos, a suspicious lack of rock and roll, and actual facts about Formaldehyde if you listen long enough.

Riffology: come for the music, stay for the back pain anecdotes.
