I recently watched this movie meticulously as I had the job of transcribing most of it to paper for a later production translation. I had seen this movie when it was originally broadcast in the 70 s.

As the end of the Eighties approached, the dynamic of the band changed too. If Darklands was William Reid’s most personal documentation to date, then Automatic was the record where The Jesus & Mary Chain would effectively become a two-piece. While original bass player Douglas Hart was still a touring member of the band at this point, all of the bass parts on Automatic were covered by a pre-programmed synthesizer with a drum machine adding processed beats on all but one song.

The task of following up their seminal debut album was daunting, but the Jesus And Mary Chain accomplished it with style on sophomore collection Darklands. A more subtle and understated album, it nevertheless contains their biggest chart hit in “April Skies” and several of the Reid brothers’ most loved songs. Premiering a more expansive and nuanced sound, Jim and William wrote, produced and played everything on here.
