about

A track from the second WMTID single, a double A sided 12" of Sheik Your Money (Welcome To The Global Casino) / Go Big Red on Rouska Records. Released 1989. Catalogue Number : Profane 81.
WMTID at this time featured Richard Rouska plus the talents of Martin Kelly (Third Circle), Chris Bishop (Son of Sam) and Andy Booth (the Cassandra Complex). National UK and Euro press followed, sales outstripped all other Rouska artists and inroads were made into the US market. It was adopted by KUWR Radio as the stations theme tune.

lyrics

“Armed with a chrome plated drumbox and a re-wired Gibson pederast, these scorpions are ready to inherit the earth. Sink the $ and drop the bum! Like LENIN shagging the TORONTO WILDCATS under the crescent moon. There’s a riot going on in the ear of the beast and WMTID are it.”
De Wayne Vorticco

“Quasi NY-Euro disco…like Level 42 with their big end caught in their flies.” TCW – Underground

“Eastern Promises: 1. Turkish beatboys (with) muscular techno drive.” Melody Maker

“Two more slabs of dancefloor techno-beat from Leeds’ Hit Squad. Global Casino has a hook New Order would have given their eye-teeth for…You could rob banks to this.” Leeds Other Paper
“WMTID flip the lid on the wild and weirdly metal ballroom dancing scene that’s rockin’ the sox of Leeds. “Global Casino” is fabulously repetitive and way too short.”

Myrna Minkoff (aka Cath Carroll) – NME 9/4/88

“Pumping along mercilessly is WMTID’s “Go Big Red”…a number that wouldn’t sound out of place in the better class of Berlin rubber club.” Richard Noise – The Catalogue
