In fact, their 1989 debut, Fools Game, contained a cover of Rick James' funk classic "Superfreak," featuring scratches courtesy of DJ Aaron (Pause) Vaughn. After replacing Taffer with guitarist James Sanguinetti and making Vaughn a full-time member, the band decided to embrace their funk interests for their next, and perhaps best work, 1991's In This Life. They would record three more EPs and one final full length before disbanding in 1994.
As of 2008 the band has reformed and is planning to record a new demo.

Window
Mordred Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That what they sell is what you need
Your decadence starts your decay
Bullshit lies is what you've seen
Censorship on the screen
This is your window to the world
This trend will never end
Why don't you open up your eyes?
The truth - they hide
No doubt the news has lied
Why don't you open up your mind?
This ain't what life's about
Dislocate
That ain't the real thing
It's a fake
I don't beliefe a word
Deviate
Have it your own way
Consuming all we can
Wealth and stature make a man
Unto this screen you are a slave
Images of what is in
Controls your mind until the end
This is your window to the world
You work - you spend
No time to make amends
Into a wonderland you're hurled
The truth - they hide
Of wars when lands collide
Is this your window to the world?
This ain't what life's about
Dislocate
That ain't the real thing
It's a fake
I don't beliefe a word
Deviate
Have it your own way
The lyrics of Mordred's song "Window" are a commentary on the saturation of consumerism and propaganda in society, and how it leads to the decay of the human spirit. The first few lines talk about how people are made to believe that they need what is being sold to them, and that this obsession with materialism starts their decline towards a decadent, spiritually empty life. The second verse speaks about the lies and censorship that people are constantly exposed to through media and how this "window to the world" is in reality, limiting and manipulative. It then goes on to encourage people to open their eyes and minds, to look beyond what is being force-fed to them and seek out the truth for themselves.
The chorus of "Window" further emphasizes the idea that the materialistic, consumption-driven direction that society is headed in is not what life is really about. The first line, "Dislocate, that ain't the real thing, it's a fake," portrays the idea that the illusion of material gain is temporary and superficial, and that people's priorities should lie elsewhere. The phrase "have it your own way" suggests that people should take control of their own lives and not conform to the expectations of society.
Overall, Mordred's "Window" is a powerful indictment of the culture of consumerism and propaganda that pervades society, and encourages listeners to seek out the truth for themselves and reject the superficial values of materialism.

the drummer for this band is phenomenal...tons of tom/hi-hat work with just enough double-bass drum to not sound too "metal".

great album and I could never pick 1 track that was the stand out- some are more metal than funk but other than that they all kick ass- rocks in hot weather \m/

Window and Spectacle of Fear are their best songs.
