1000 Fires

1000 Fires, released in 1995, is Traci Lords’ bold and personal debut album, blending techno, trance, and ambient electronica with confessional lyrics drawn from her turbulent past. Produced by artists like Juno Reactor and Babble, the album explores themes of trauma, survival, and empowerment, with standout tracks like the industrial-tinged “Control” (featured on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack) and the haunting “Fallen Angel.” Though it didn’t chart commercially, the album earned cult acclaim for its forward-thinking production and emotional depth, marking Lords’ striking reinvention as a serious electronic artist.
