"Babylon" comes off Faster Pussycat's self-titled 1987 debut, a Taime Downe and Greg Steele song with a wild card in the mix: turntable scratching from Riki Rachtman, a onetime club DJ who was Downe's roommate and his partner in opening the Cathouse nightclub.
Downe sings lead, Brent Muscat and Steele play guitar, Eric Stacy is on bass and Mark Michals on drums. Ric Browde produced, with Tim Bomba engineering and Chris Steinmetz assisting. Putting a club DJ's scratches on a hair metal record was a cheeky move, and it gives the track a bit of the nightlife the two roommates were busy building.
