"NEW YORK, April 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- "One Hundred Hunters" is the second single from Stanford's debut Sony Music Masterworks album, Automatica. Following the success of his wildly popular music video for the title-track "Automatica", Nigel decided to take his creativity one step further beyond programming a robot rock band and instead slip on an astronaut suit and head to space (sort of). In his latest space-age music video, which debuted yesterday on Gizmodo, Stanford put down the robots temporarily and make use of some recently released NASA footage of the Apollo and Gemini space missions of the 1960's and 70's. What was once bits and pieces of scattered mission footage, Stanford turned into a 4-minute sci-fi epic that just might make fans wonder how much is real footage and how much was rendered to Stanford and team's magic touch."
I'm not sure whether I've posted this before, but I heard this song again in a recent live concert by Toto that I watched on YouTube yesterday. Unfortunately, the sound quality of the concert was very bad due to it having been recorded entirely on a smartphone, so I'm not going to be posting it here.
Nevertheless, they were opening up the concert with this old song from one of their first albums, and Bobby Kimball's vocals on the original track — at the concert it was sung by Joseph Williams — are extremely good. The song is about a black man in New York City who has just killed someone and is now on the run from the (white) cops, and Bobby sang those lyrics just as if he were that man, with a touch of Bill Withers in his voice. :like:
Yeah, very cool!Quote:

No, she hasn't. Nikki has always been very slender. You must be confusing her with Sarah, who is now no longer performing with either HSCC or SingItLive (and hasn't been in quite some time). Sarah was(/is?) rather voluptuous.Quote:

I haven't really kept track on Creed since that album, and there were only two songs on it — including the one below, which made it into a single — that I considered worth listening to.
I've heard that whole album and I personally felt that it was all too much of the same, and that the singer was trying too hard to sound like Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam), which was sort of fashionable in the rock industry back in the day, and which led to many such one-hit wonders that all sounded exactly the same. Still, I did like the song below when it came out.
No real guitar solos on this track — just a mid-song repeat of the opening riff, with the whole thing played in "Drop D" tuning — of course, because guitar solos were taboo during that period, while "Drop D" was an absolute must for the sake of street credibility. Even Metallica recorded an entire album in those days without even a single guitar solo. :rolleyes:
