“Another World” by Hoodoo Gurus

"Another World" turns up on Magnum Cum Louder, the fourth album from Australian rock band Hoodoo Gurus, released at home in June 1989, and it's all Dave Faulkner's work, words and music. The band produced the record themselves, and David Thoener mixed this one.

By Faulkner's account, doing it in-house was a morale boost above all. The Gurus had just come through six idle months, tangled in a lawsuit to break free of their old contract, so they made the album without letting the label know what they were recording and only played it for them once it was done. The gamble paid off, because the label liked what it heard. Even the title is a wink, bending the Latin honour magna cum laude into something louder.
