Stop Your Motor

Stop Your Motor is the Association's sixth studio album (not including their greatest hits album or the Goodbye, Columbus soundtrack) and their final project for Warner Bros. It marked the debut of keyboardist Richard Thompson, replacing original member Russ Giguere. The songs "That's Racin'" (original titled "I'm Going To Be A Racin' Star") and "The First Sound" were initially slated to be part of a proposed soundtrack for a documentary film about auto racing, Once Upon a Wheel, hosted by Paul Newman but the soundtrack failed to materialise beyond a promotional level (sponsored by Coca-Cola). The title song from the documentary, as composed by Terry Kirkman, never saw an official release.

gollark: Well, they might be useful if you want random small-screen devices for controlling/monitoring things.
gollark: However, the "trusted" bit of the name is a misnomer, in that it's "trusted" by arbitrary companies of some kind and not the user themselves.
gollark: It has some nice-for-users features like that you can, say, make your disk's contents unreadable if you take it out and stick it in another computer (without also having the TPM to do things to).
gollark: It's basically a bit of hardware built into the CPU for storing secret keys the user isn't meant to be able to access.
gollark: And similar accursed DRM schemes.
