Cast (2):… Read Full Bio ↴Cast (1): A Britpop band formed in Liverpool, England in 1993.
Cast (2): Progressive rock band from Mexico, active since the late '70s.
Cast (3): Norwegian rapper from the late '90s.
Cast (4): Russian IDM / Glitch project.
Cast (5): A Romanian hip-hop group.
(1): Cast was formed in 1993 by John Power, the former bassist of The La's. They released four albums between 1995 and 2001. Cast were at the height of their popularity during the mid-90's Britpop movements. Whilst popular, they were seen as one of the "lesser" bands of the moment, often overshadowed by the likes of more popular bands such as Blur, Oasis and Pulp. It has been suggested that the name "Cast" was taken from the final line of the final song on The La's eponymous (and only) album. The song "Looking Glass" ends with the line ""The stone is cast, the glass is smashed".
After the commercial failure of their final studio album Beetroot in 2001, Cast split in 2002. John Power would subsequently release a solo album. In 2005 it was announced The La's were reforming with John Power included, this would seem to preclude any comeback for Cast for the foreseeable future.
A 2004 greatest hits album - The Collection - also failed to chart. It was criticised as it failed to feature the hit singles "Alright" and "Walkaway" from their most popular release All Change and was comprised largely of album tracks.
Since 2002 Peter Wilkinson has recorded and toured with a number of artists including Ian McCulloch and McCulloch's reformed band, Echo & The Bunnymen. Wilkinson left Echo and the Bunnymen in mid 2005 and has now rejoined the Liverpool band Shack who are currently signed to Sour Mash , Noel Gallagher's record label. Shack are due to release their new album On the Corner of Miles and Gil in March 2006.
(2): CAST was founded in 1978 in Mexico. Like so many other progressive rock groups they have evolved through the years and the music and influences have been changing between each album. Generally you can say that they are playing melodic progressive rock with many long instrumental passages combined with influences from baroque, bossanova, classical music, Heavy Metal, Jazz and Tango. The lyrics are mostly based on fantasy themes.
They have a very keyboard oriented British Neo-progressive sound and although they are from Mexico there are no distracting accents. You can hear influences from many different progressive rock bands such as CAMEL, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, DREAM THEATER, mid-period GENESIS (their main influence), JETHRO TULL, LED ZEPPELIN, MARILLION, PENDRAGON, PINK FLOYD, RUSH, SAVATAGE, UK and YES. All of the CD's are passing 60 minutes, with an average track length about 8 minutes long.
CAST is definitely one of the best neo-progressive bands together with MARILLION and PENDRAGON. It's very strange that they haven't gained more recognition in the neo-progressive genre. CAST is also said to be a very good live act.
3) Cast debuted as 50% of Norwegian rap group Equicez with the now-classic 2003 album "State of Emergency". He has always been one of the most controversial rappers in Norway, due to his former drug addiction and his expressed support to convicted criminal David Toska.
4) Denis Kaznacheev was born in 1983 in Tashtagol, in Siberia. Music was his greatest hobby since early childhood. His interest in hip-hop eventually evolved into an interest in electronic music; he was only 18 when he started his own IDM project, Cast. At about the same time he joins the Moscow minimal techno community and starts experimenting in the genre. The performance was a striking success which exceeded all expectations, and presently the Guttersnipe project can be heard at any of the chief Moscow dance floors, as well as in other Russian cities. The joint project of Denis Kaznacheev and Chizh, a well-known Moscow DJ, was published by Sender records, Germany, and received most favorable reviews from the critics.
The Time Warp
Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time is fleeting
Madness takes it's toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the time-warp
The blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again
It's just a jump to the left
An then a step to the right
With your hands on your hip
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no, not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're into the time slip
Nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out of sensation
Like you're under sedation
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again
Well I was tapping down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy give me an evil wink
Well he shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes
He starred at me and I felt a pain
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hip
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again
The opening verse of the song "The Time Warp" starts with the singer expressing their amazement at the passage of time by saying, "It's astounding, time is fleeting, Madness takes its toll." They feel like they have to keep their wits about them and be in control, implying that they are living in a world or situation that is challenging and possibly dangerous. However, they recall being familiar with the "time-warp" and describe it as a way to escape this normal world and go to another dimension where anything is possible. This alternate reality appears to be a concert-like atmosphere where people dance together and engage in the "time-warp" routine. The singer describes it as "dreamy" and "fantasy free me", indicating they find solace and freedom in this other dimension.
The chorus of the song then describes the steps involved in the 'time warp' dance, which involves jumping to the left, stepping to the right, placing hands on hips, and bringing knees in tight. The climax of the dance sequence is the "pelvic thrust that really drives you insane," suggesting that it is the most liberating part of the experience. The song then takes an unexpected turn as the mood changes, and the singer suddenly finds himself in a less pleasant scenario. He tells the audience that they were in the middle of a peaceful stroll when they were accosted by a stranger who made them feel scared and disoriented. In this moment, they felt that they had left time and space, and nothing would ever be the same again.
Overall, the song is a pop culture phenomenon that has enjoyed decades of fame since it featured in the 1975 musical comedy film, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." It has become a celebrated cult classic, and its popularity shows no signs of dying down anytime soon.
Line by Line Meaning
It's astounding
It is unbelievable
Time is fleeting
Time is passing quickly
Madness takes it's toll
Being crazy has its consequences
But listen closely
Pay close attention
Not for very much longer
It won't be for much longer
I've got to keep control
I must remain in control
I remember doing the time-warp
I recall performing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
Enjoying those moments when
The blackness would hit me
When I would be overwhelmed by darkness
And the void would be calling
When I felt pulled towards emptiness
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp once more
It's just a jump to the left
Simply move to the left
An then a step to the right
Then take a step towards the right
With your hands on your hip
Place your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
Tighten your knee muscles inwards
But it's the pelvic thrust
However, it is the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
That truly makes you crazy
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
It's so wonderful, oh please free me from my imagination
So you can't see me, no, not at all
So you won't be able to see me, not even a little
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
In a different world, with the intention of secretly observing
Well-secluded, I see all
Hidden away, yet able to observe everything
With a bit of a mind flip
With a slight change in mindset
You're into the time slip
You are experiencing a lapse in time
Nothing can ever be the same
Nothing will ever remain unchanged
You're spaced out of sensation
You are numb to feeling
Like you're under sedation
As if you are drugged
Well I was tapping down the street just a-having a think
I was strolling down the street lost in thought
When a snake of a guy give me an evil wink
When a shady character gave me a sinister wink
Well he shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
He shocked me, took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes
He owned a pickup truck and had an evil look in his eyes
He starred at me and I felt a pain
He stared at me and I felt discomfort
Time meant nothing, never would again
Time lost its significance and it never came back
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp once more
It's just a jump to the left
Simply move to the left
And then a step to the right
Then take a step towards the right
With your hands on your hip
Place your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
Tighten your knee muscles inwards
But it's the pelvic thrust
However, it is the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
That truly makes you crazy

Here's the thing....the original has a B MOVIE feel too it....EXACTLY as it's supposed to...the later productions are WAY to "professional"
all these people, with GIGANTIC voices blowing out windows and the roof off just Totally overwhelm the play AND don't fit in with it AT ALL....they're Screaming right over the Scene itself and right over the Characters.
There's these trained singing instructors who have put out vids on youtube....and they're saying, rather snarkily, "you know, nobody in Rocky Horror was a Trained singer"....GOOD!!!!
For instance, Susan Sarandon....not the strongest voice But GOOD, her voice was, like her character, vulnerable, naive, innocent.
But these later singers just do NOT get that across with their on steroids vocals.
Same EXACT thing with Barry Bostwick.
And Richard O'brien ....his voice, as part of the character, conveyed creepiness, maliciousness etc....but the guys doing that character Now, just belt it out, with no character or regard for the scene At All.
I saw one guy do Riff Raff's song from the tower window and, at the end, he just tacks on some random note that he bellows out for no reason other than demonstrating "Look what I can do"....what director lets that go on??
it's nuts!
and TOTALLY distracts from the song, the mood, the character etc

I took my girlfriend to see this last night at Wimbledon... i was dressed as 'some guy called Eddie' at her request and she dressed as Magenta. I had no idea what i was in for but i can honestly say, one of the most fun experiences i've had. Brilliant time, lots of costumes, memorable songs and everyone went WILD as Frank came out. I didn't really know what Rocky Horror was about until last night, didn't know the characters or songs or anything but i'm a total convert now. It's silly, it's naughty, it's VERY funny and i can't wait to see it again. Thank you so much.

I love the guy who tells you how to do the time warp dance. Like you just cant ruin him.
JP Genz
I have an opinion on this whole video that I have to tell the puplic now.
1. The "original" sound which run up and down back in the time in our radio is stuck in my head so I cannot listen to this without saying I hate it. But
2. I love the look of the cast and their expression
3. I love the dance
4. I have watched the musical on video and now I wanna see it live. I hope this or next year will happen something
