The Looks or the Lifestyle? (1992) Dos Dedos Mis Amigos (1994) Two Fingers My Friends! (1995)

Dos Dedos Mis Amigos is the last album from UK alternative band Pop Will Eat Itself. The album was somewhat different from PWEI's other albums, as it had more of an industrial influence and fewer samples were used. The opening song "Ich Bin Ein Auslander" was based on the uprise of racial tension throughout Britain during 1994, and featured an over-the-top video of the bandmembers mocking the industrial scene dressed up very bizarrely, and guitarists Richard March and Adam Mole playing very large guitars.

[edit] Notes

• Dos Dedos Mis Amigos translates as 'Two Fingers My Friends' which was the name of the follow-up remixed version of the album.
• Ich Bin Ein Auslander contains a dry-sample guitar of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, while Everything's Cool contains a sample from 'Thieves' by Ministry. Ich Bin Ein Auslander also samples Brad Fiedel's theme tune to Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
• Familus Horribilus samples Black Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe" from the album Sabotage.
• This was the only PWEI album (excluding the Amalgamation EP) released on Trent Reznor's Nothing Records.
• In 2001 Information Society lead singer Kurt Harland created a track called Ausoween by combining Ich Bin Ein Auslander and This is Halloween from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was an early example of a mash-up and was given to fans of InSoc via IRC.
