elite: disintegration

one of the most influential bands recording their masterpiece album, the dark splendor that is the cure's "disintegration"...

...and what did they do when not recording?!

"We were working 6 days a week and only had Sundays off, we would go into Town to Reading now and again to have a wander around the shops and buy random stuff that we didn’t need. We also played a lot of computer games, there’s a lot of waiting around in studios when you have nothing to do so playing games on the computer became quite addictive. We played this space trading game where you made money and bought stuff for your space ship like automatic docking and shields and weapons. I cant remember what it was called now (Elite) but eventually it was banned from the control room as it became a bit distracting especially when Dave was spending as much time on it as we were hahahah…"

As an ageing Goth, I'd say I liked, nay loved, 'Disintegration', but 'Faith' and 'Pornography' were so much more... :)
 
Big fan of Disintegration here, so that's really cool to know! I've got the 3CD Deluxe edition, so I'll be digging that out later... I only need to hear the first few booming seconds of Plainsong to get hooked into the album and know that I need to hear it through to the end.
 
And here I thought this post was gonna be either about:
a) An elite backer finally unraveling from suspense and nerd rage
b) A suggestion to change the name of Elite Dangerous
