• George est de plus en plus en Conflit avec sa maison de disques VIRGIN qui ne sait plus quoi faire de George et donc ne fait plus de promotion pour.....

    George tente tant bien que mal avec moreprotein de booster ses disques et écrit 2 titres :
    - sweet toxic love
    - am i losing control


    .... et reprend le standat de George harrison (ex beatles) :
    - oh lord

    Il édite ces 3 titres sur un maxi cd qui sort en DECEMBRE 1992...

    Ce single sort en Angleterre et rentre péniblement à la 100eme place des charts! Il atteint et grimpe jusqu'à la 65eme place pour stagner et redescendre ensuite!
    Petit succès peu convaincant...
    Seule l'Allemagne en faira un tube et le place 16eme des charts!!! La france ne le sort pas, le boude malgrés la sortie du maxi en import...
    George pourtant fait la promotion du single et chante un medley "sweet toxic love & oh lord" et se produit même au CLUB DOROTHEE!!!!
    En vain aucun succes en france! De toute facon, aucun cd 2 titres ou 45t n'existe en france!

    Avec sweet toxic love, George parle et milite contre la vivisection et le prouve avec la pochette "choc"... : des lapins élevés en batterie et un chimpanzé vivant le crâne ouvert...
    Le clip se tourne dans la maison de George à Hampstead et Celui ci apparait avec le chapeau perlé KRISHNA... D'ailleurs George cloture sa période KRISHNA avec ce single....

    Le top des top est AM I LOSING CONTROL qui est un superbe morceau tant dans l'ecriture du texte, la mélodie et le remix....

    Sweet Toxic Love
    Oh Lord, gimme strength
    Sweet Lord, gimme love
    Oh Lord, gimme strength
    Sweet Lord, gimme love

    I'm not your lover, I wanna be your friend
    But I need something, do you comprehend?
    It took a long time for this heart to mend
    There's something wrong with the love you send

    Oh give me strength Oh Lord above
    I need some of that sweet toxic love
    Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins
    To lift me up to make me insane

    I'm not your punch bag I'm not your floor
    You can't walk on me 'til you get bored
    Before you break it, you must be sure
    That you can't use this love no more

    Oh give me strength Oh Lord above
    I need some of that sweet toxic love
    Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins
    To lift me up, to make me insane

    God would have loved you but he never had the chance
    Love it means nothing 'til it's slipping through your hands
    And all the people with their problems and their plans
    Though it's nothing new for me and you, I still know who I am

    Oh give me strength, Oh Lord above ( My sweet Lord)
    I need some of that sweet toxic love (Just give me love)
    Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins
    To lift me up, to make me insane

    Oh Lord (oh Lord), gimme stregth
    Sweet Lord, gimme love (gimme love)
    Oh Lord (oh Lord), gimme strength
    Sweet Lord, gimme love
    (just gimme love)




    Am I Losing Control?
    Sometimes I sit and contemplate
    The bitterness of my lonely state
    I know, I know I do create
    These feelings in my heart

    I look to you but you're confused
    I feel like I can only lose
    Stand a while inside my shoes
    Feel the rain come down

    Am I losing control, am I losing control
    Was I weaker when I met you
    Try and leave, I just can't let you
    Am I losing control

    Am I losing you?
    Am I losing control?

    Sometimes I sit and contemplate
    The hatred that I generate
    Tell me it is not my fate
    To lose before I start

    Oh you with eyes like thickened skies
    When did ya start to mesmerise
    Loving words a thin disguise
    You know you are a star

    Am I losing control, am I losing control
    Was I weaker when I met you
    Try and leave, I just can't let you
    Am I losing control

    Am I losing you?
    Am I losing control?

    I should've changed that stupid lock
    I should've made you leave me be
    If I'd known for just one minute
    You'd become a part of me

    Am I losing control, am I losing control
    Was I weaker when I met you
    Try and leave, I just can't let you
    Am I losing control

    Am I losing you?
    Am I losing control?




    Oh Lord
    Here I clutch my rosaries
    And picture God a man
    Yes he's standing right in front of me
    Yes he knows just what I am

    I am frightened by these moments
    And the things I can reveal
    He says 'Hold on'
    You know I love you still

    It don't matter
    What the good book says
    Whether it's good or it's right
    I'm gonna do it anyway

    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord, Give me love
    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord, Give me love

    Give me love
    Give me love
    Give me love

    Take me to the river
    'Cause the desert is too dry
    I'm not asking for redemption
    For the things I feel inside

    When you found me here in darkness
    I was cursing at my fate
    Before you leave me standing
    It is not too late

    Redemption
    I don't need no cure
    Be your healing hands
    On the sick and the poor

    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord, Give me love
    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord, Give me love

    Oh Lord, Give me love
    Oh Lord, Give me love
    Oh Lord, Give me love
    Oh Lord, Give me love

    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord, Give me love
    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord, Give me love

    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord, Give me love
    Oh Lord, Give me strength
    Oh Lord

  • Il existe un maxi cd de DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME qui est sorti en novembre 1991, suite à la déferlante HARE KRISHNA de George.
    Le maxi édite 3 titres :

    1. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me
    2. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me (Dub Version)
    3. Bow Down Mister (Sitari Bizzari Mix)

    Virgin 665 483, re-release

    Ce single est sorti uniquement en Allemagne mais n'a pas eu le succes escompté dans les ventes... faute de promotion...

    Le point a mémoriser est la beauté de la pochette reprsésentant un George avec chapeau perlée KRISHNA..

    Les fans achetent l'album mais celui ci ne remporte pas un succès en terme de ventes.
    De toute façon, aucune promotion n'est faite, aucunes publicités, etc....

    La pochette montre la foto du single "move away", session from luxery to heartache...

  • 23 septembre 1991, sort AFTER THE LOVE avec 2 nouveau remix :
    - prophets of dom mix
    - naughty norman normal's nightie mix


    After the love est le dernier single de l'album THE MARTYRS MANTRAS.
    After the love n'est pas vraiment une nouveauté puisqu'il est déjà sorti en 1989 sous JESUS LOVES YOU.... mais courroné d'un...flop...

    George, grâce à l'énorme succès de BOW DOWN MISTER et le succès d'estime de GENERATIONS OF LOVE, décide de le ressortir sous un remix different, et surtout destiné pour les clubs...

    Aucun 45T est diffusé en France mais un maxi 45t cd sort dont une pochette PIERRE et GILLES qui est archi connu....

    Succès d'estime dans les clubs mais aucune rentrée dans les charts français...

    Conclusion : mis à part le remix de GENERATION OF LOVE "absolutely queer mix, le reste est inutile....

  • Après un succes d'estime avec Heartbeak en Angleterre, Jon moss se lance dans un nouveau projet : IL CREE UN NOUVEAU GROUPE AVEC NICK FELDMAN : PROMISLED LAND.

    Un single sort en 1990 "something in the air"! UN ENORME BIDE!!!!
    PERSONNE NE PASSE CE TITRE EN RADIO ET PERSONNE N'ACHETE CE SINGLE!!!

    Jon moss ne se décourage pas et produit un album "promised land" du même nom du groupe en 1992 :
    # Circle In The Square
    # You, You Monkey
    # Flowers In The Desert
    # Drivetime
    # All Dressed Up For The End Of The World
    # You Haunt My Heart
    # I Don't Wanna Be Like You
    # Be Somebody
    # Mantra
    # Big Blow
    # Who's Controlling The Weather?

    L'album ne reprend même pas le premier single "something in the air"....

    SI QUELQU'UN CONNAIT CET ALBUM OU LE SINGLE DE 1990, FAITES MOI SIGNE!!

    En 1992, le single circle in the square sort mais .....??????????????????

    A ce jour, le groupe est dissolu......



    Something in the Air
    Call out the instigators
    Because there's something in the air
    We've got to get together sooner or later
    Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
    And you know that it's right

    We have got to get it together
    We have got to get it together now

    Lock up the streets and houses
    Because there's something in the air
    We've got to get together sooner or later
    Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
    And you know that it's right

    We have got to get it together
    We have got to get it together now

    Hand out the arms and ammo
    We're going to blast our way through here
    We've got to get together sooner or later
    Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
    And you know that it's right

    We have got to get it together
    We have got to get it together
    Now
