“Movies shot on high-sensitivity 8mm film have rough grain, and you can see this grain moving in like a haze on the screen. Oil paintings show the texture of oil paint, and watercolors show the texture of watercolor paint and paper. Movies show the texture of film, and the smaller the area of the film, the larger the grain seems, so its texture becomes more pronounced. The plane that takes off in the film gets smaller and smaller as it moves away, until it becomes smaller than the film grains themselves and is buried in the grains of the blue sky.” (Isao Kota)

Due to the underachievement of their exceptional 1982 comeback album, Creatures of the Night, Kiss knew the time was right to drop the makeup, so in September 1983 the band shocked their fans by unmasking on MTV. Their first non-makeup album, Lick It Up, followed soon after and successfully re-established the band among the heavy metal masses worldwide. Kiss also reconnected with their stateside fans -- Lick It Up was the band's first record to achieve gold status since 1980's Kiss Unmasked. The album's success was spurred by MTV's repeated airing of the imaginative video for the album's strong title track, and songs such as "Exciter," "Not for the Innocent," "A Million to One," and the rap-rocker "All Hell's Breaking Loose" confirmed that the band was back on the right track.

The soundtrack was constructed using some very basic monophonic synthesisers and a 4 track recorder on which I remixed some material found in the art school library.
