Orgasmatron (album)

Encyclopedia : O : OR : ORG : Orgasmatron (album)

Orgasmatron is the last Motörhead album to feature Pete Gill on the drums. It was originally named Ridin' With The Driver, but it was later changed to Orgasmatron (but too late for Joe Petagno to change the cover art). It features some of Motörhead's heaviest songs ("Orgasmatron" and "Deaf Forever") and it is the album (along with No Remorse) that got Motörhead back on track after the unsuccessful 1983 album Another Perfect Day. The album reached number 21 in the UK charts.

The song "Orgasmatron" was re-recorded in 2000 and was available as an internet download under the name "Orgasmatron 2000". It was later included on the band's 2003 five-disc box-set Stone Deaf Forever.

An important note about this album is that it was produced and engineered by Bill Laswell and Jason Corsaro.
