Dos Dedos Mis Amigos by Pop Will Eat Itself

Dos Dedos Mis Amigos, Pop Will Eat Itself's fifth studio album, came out on 19 September 1994, on Infectious in Britain and on Nothing and Interscope in America. The Stourbridge band had started out as a grebo act and later built its records around samples, but this one leans hard into industrial rock and cuts back on the sampling: harder, colder, more machine than magpie, with guitars that grind and beats that pound. The Designers Republic, their longtime collaborators, did the artwork.

The title translates as "two fingers my friends", which is exactly what they called the remix album that followed. "Everything's Cool" was the track that reached the countdowns. It turned out to be a parting shot: the band broke up in 1996, and it would take until 2011, and a different lineup, before a new album, New Noise Designed by a Sadist, appeared.
