Next album, The Amalgamut, was released in 2002, featuring the singles Where Do We Go From Here? and The Only Way, which was included in Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life soundtrack. The song Captain Bligh (named after Vice-Admiral William Bligh, whose crew rebelled) was written by Patrick after leaving Nine Inch Nails and was about Trent Reznor's notoriously anti-social habits. The mellow ballad Take a Picture became a great hit, with the line "Do you want to take my picture 'cause I won't remember?" becoming a popular phrase refering to an alcoholic blackout. The album moved somewhat away from industrial to rock, and this movement continued with each album. Filter continued with Title of Record in 1999. Filter also recorded Trip Like I Do for the Spawn movie soundtrack. In 1996, Filter recorded and filmed the video for the song Jurassitol, for The Crow: City of Angels soundtrack, but it was used later for The Crow: Salvation soundtrack in 2000. Later Filter recorded a cover of Harry Nilsson's One for The X-Files film soundtrack. The first of these tracks, Thanks Bro, was written for the Songs In The Key Of X - album of music from and inspired by The X-Files (Patrick is a big fan of this show). Kurt Cobain's suicide was widely rumored to have inspired the song.Īfter the Short Bus release Filter concentrated on soundtrack contributions. It was seen as capitalizing on the public suicide of Budd Dwyer – an American politician who committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth with a revolver during a televised press conference. Filter disk, Short Bus, became both commercially successful and controversial, mainly because of the hit single Hey Man, Nice Shot. They got acquainted through working with Nine Inch Nails – Patrick worked as a touring guitarist for Nine Inch Nails and Liesegang was an assistant engineer on their Broken and The Downward Spiral albums. It was formed in 1993 in Cleveland, Ohio by Richard Patrick (professional musician) and Brian Liesegang (musician, also a programmer with a degree in philosophy). American band Filter is known for its soundtracks for movies and videogames as much as fot its original albums.
