Nash the Slash: Children of the Night

"There are no guitars"

From Wikipedia: 

Children of the Night is an album by Canadian alternative recording artist Nash the Slash. Released in 1981 after Nash toured the United Kingdom in 1980 supporting Gary Numan, the album quickly gained cult status with its unique sound, created using electric mandolins, electric violins, drum machines and other sonic devices. The album sleeve proudly proclaims "There are no guitars."

In amongst original material by Nash were quirky covers of Jan and Dean's "Dead Man's Curve" and The Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown". His adaptation of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" was entitled "Dopes on the Water", while the opening composition "Wolf" quoted musical passages from Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.

The album was recorded in six weeks at Britannia Row Studios, London, in late 1980 and produced by Steve Hillage. It was released on the Virgin Records label Dindisc, which was owned by Richard Branson. The album was re-released on CD in 2000 with bonus tracks. The cover photo was taken at the road entrance looking up from Paddington Station, London. [source]

I'm not sure that I can adequately describe how much I like this record. He was one of Canada's most interesting musicians. Make sure you look at the back cover for a good counterpoint to the front image.

When you listen to it, remember that "there are no guitars." There are three cover versions, as mentioned above, on this LP. Two are below, and the other is Dopes on the Water, based on Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water.
