September 1993 brought the duo's debut album Antimatter, and the Metal EP followed in 1994. Controversy followed Cubanate around the British Isles during a 1994 tour with Carcass, as death threats and near riots caused the London Evening Standard to declare that the band had "provoked an outbreak of demented carnage." Late in 1994, Cubanate delivered "Oxyacetylene," the trailer single for second LP Cyberia, which appeared in early 1995. "Oxyacetylene" was a hit of some note, featuring on "Mortal Kombat II" and "Gran Turismo" soundtrack LP's.
Heal and Barry once again enlisted extra members -- this time guitarist Shep Ashton and keyboard player Darren Bennett -- for a European tour with Front Line Assembly in 1995. The duo's third album Barbarossa, was released in April 1996.
Two years later, "Interference" appeared on TVT / Wax Trax! Recordings. The album was a departure from the previous sound, featuring intense drum and bass rythyms and a more personal lyrical style. "Interference" received mixed reactions and Cubanate had disbanded by 2000.
Industry
Cubanate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was to let you get inside
My fatal flaw
Was honesty
I spoke my mind
But I don't care
I don't care
I don't care anymore
I don't care
I don't care anymore
Whiplash
I need the contact
Whiplash
I need the impact
Whiplash
I wanna see you crash
And burn
Crash and burn
You were like squeezing
Blood from a stone
Lights on...
But no one home
Whiplash
I need the contact
Whiplash
I need the impact
Whiplash
I wanna see you crash
And burn
Crash and burn
The lyrics of Cubanate's song "Industry" are quite intriguing and can be interpreted in different ways. The first stanza shows the singer's vulnerability and how they let someone get close to them despite knowing the risk. The line "my crime of passion was to let you get inside" is particularly powerful and suggests that this person was fully aware of the consequences of letting themselves fall for someone but went ahead regardless. The next line states that their fatal flaw is honesty, implying that they were truthful about their feelings which may have led to the downfall of their relationship. The repeated line "I don't care anymore" shows the singer's emotional detachment and desire to move on.
The second stanza highlights the singer's anger and desire for revenge. They want to see the person who hurt them crash and burn, and the word "whiplash" is used repeatedly to show how they want to inflict pain on this person. The line "you were like squeezing blood from a stone" suggests that this person took everything from the singer and left them empty. The last line "lights on... but no one home" is possibly directed at the person who hurt the singer, implying that they are incapable of feeling anything and are empty inside.
Overall, the lyrics of "Industry" are dark and intense, depicting the aftermath of a relationship gone wrong. They show the different stages of the singer's emotions, from vulnerability to anger and finally emotional detachment.

The days when everyone wanted the Castrol Supra.. Coolest looking car in that game at the time

@subpoenatheteenagesnitch
The days when the stage 4 turbo on the VR-4 3000GT averaged like 900 something horsepower lol. Beat a vast majority of that game with that car.
@YABUKIJOE2077
yes the 3000gt!!
@gabrielkowalczyk2177
930bhp :D
@seba203pl3
It was by far in any GT game.
BTW GT sport is rubish
@YABUKIJOE2077
This is the type of sound a racing game needs
@ballervisions
GTO Twin turbo with the upgraded engine was UNSTOPPABLE
@theRaw6
r33 and the gto 92" was able to make the match on some race :p still play this game and it's still epic
@griffinfaulkner3514
The R33 GTR V-spec was the only thing that could well and truly outrun the GTO Twin turbo, and even then that was down to the R33 not weighing as much as the moon and bogging down off the start. I scared the piss out of my brothers after fiddling with its gearing and getting it to light all four tires instead of falling into turbo lag and just disappearing before they could get out of first gear.
