Welcome to Anything Box: Fan Tapes & Time Travel
A serialized telling of Anything Box's rise through fan tapes. This is the electronic music you need to hear.

Welcome to Episode 4 of the serialized Anything Box film, 'Fan Tapes & Time Travel'. Using the lens and cameras from fans from all over the world, this film is a time machine. The periods jump from 1988 to the future, and everything in between. Are Anything Box time travelers then? Or are they merely resilient? Only one thing is for certain: art speaks for itself.

Claude: "England had The Batcave in 1988, which brought us bands like Alien Sex Fiend, but New Jersey had The Pipeline, which was a stomping ground that was always open to our experimentation. Emilio was a great guy. I would call him up on the phone, and he would give us a date. Or we would get a date right after we played a show. So it was a sort of home for us. Also, it was the most 'Gothic' and 'Punk' of all the clubs we played, barring perhaps The Loop, which was also (and still is) very special. The Pipeline had a spirit that was amazing.
Imagine my surprise at finding these little gems. This Episode features two songs which we've never released, much to my surprise. They were popular in our sets, and the vampires loved us. That is because we were sort of vampires ourselves. The song 'Pieces' (2nd song on this episode) was supposed to be a b-side to 'Living In Oblivion', but it never happened because the record company thought it was too industrial. We should have fought for it. The master is out there somewhere. As for 'Some One's Taken Over Me', it is a song that to this day feels good in a punkish aggressive sort of way.
This show is also the last before we moved to California, and as such holds a special place in my heart forever."
Featured Songs: 'Someone's Taken Over Me' and 'Pieces'.

Claude: “This was, at the time, the biggest show Anything Box had done. There was no endpop.com yet. This was a trying period. This was when we were riding the high of Peace and Living In Oblivion, but had just left a major label. The Hope era had just begun, and Orangewerks was an idea waiting to happen. I think Answer Me was a new song…
What I remember the most was that fans had dropped from the ceiling, and we elected to protect them since security was looking for them with tazers. Also, the front doors of the soccer stadium were broken as people came in to the venue. Our road manager at the time and my good friend, Tito, filmed most of this. Oh, I apologize in advance for the clothes. I just wanted to be comfortable. Who knew?”
The song featured during this episode is Kiss of Love…
