just a shot in the dark but i think he's talking about egypt
When the pyramids were built they were coated in polished limestone and often capped w a golden piece at the top, and supposedly actually _were_ shiny especially in contrast to the surrounding desert. They look rocky and Earthy to us now only because they have been sitting in the desert, periodically raided and dismantled, for thousands and thousands of years.
The old temples and stuff were similarly super colorful; a lot of the original paint remains even to this day.

SS: Then the guy from Cybotron, Rick Davis, thought you were dead?
EL: He saw the headline: “Lady Diana Dies With Egyptian Lover.”

I'm pretty lukewarm on most of his stuff but man I love "I Cry". Any recommendations on similarly moody 80s electroish stuff?
