Go Figure - planned album artwork
Feel No Pain - Picture Disc (Side A)
SSV - Bad Vultee


Bad Vultee is a song on the SSV album Go Figure.

It is the fourth track on the picture disc-LP and the Screw Shareholder Value bootleg-CD.

The song has a few different synth lines, some sounding rather uplifting.

Vultee was the name of an old aircraft company.

The idea of the song consisting of a lot of "measurements"

is fully reminiscent of the The Sisterhood's Gift-LP song Finland Red, Egypt White.

There's a still video with audio from the master CD here to give you an impression.

Our thanks go to Weird Tunes for the upload.

Another still video featuring Bad Vultee (not in full, but hell) is available here.
