5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the most important cds you NEED to hear,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fire This Time (Audio CD)
this is not just a compilation of some of the finest bands on the electronic music scene, and although it is worth getting to hear the remix of Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy by Black Lung, or the fantastic remix of Orbital's The Box, the main reason why you need this cd is its narration.The album is split into 2 discs, the second is the instrumental cd, but the first cd has a narrative about the history of conflict in the gulf; how America have created the current situation by influencing other countries; setting up a pr campaign to make Saddam Hussein out to be a cause for concern. I would urge everyone who has more than one brain cell and is able to question the motives of western governments to listen to this cd.

Important Music,

This review is from: The Fire This Time (Audio CD)
This album is important - it's a concept album with a political message. The basic idea is get a load of cool dance music and put a story over the top of it. In this case, the modern history of Iraq.I first heard the track 'Get Thee Behind me' by Soma on John Peels Radio 1 show. I loved the way the dance tracks, sound clips and narration sit so well with each other. The best thing is, unlike Paul Oakenfolds 'Urban Soundtracks' the narration is the modern history of Iraq, so is a great way of getting facts in your head about the situation and the events surrounding the first gulf war. The fevour of the dance music sits well with both the gradually building and often erratic political shifts in the Gulf. Each track acts as if a 'chapter' in the story. The album is definitely biased against the Americans - no bad thing I've heard some people say. Some of the facts mentioned may be questionable, and because of the release date the narration obviously doesn't cover recent events. Whether there will be a 'The Fire Next Time' album remains to be seen. I hope so. And if you're not into all that, CD2 doesn't have the narration on it... The musical side of the album is also pretty good. I'm a fan of 'The Box' track and Aphex Twin is always good value, but without the narration, there are better albums out there. It's the fact that the album is really making a point, and putting a view across which otherwise probably wouldn't get heard - that is the important thing the makers are trying to do.

Great value,

This review is from: The Fire This Time (Audio CD)
Loads of music from quality artists like Speedy Jay and Apex Twins. The anti-war vocals are very off putting and arrogant but you get a 100% instrumental CD as well. Its mix bag of tunes, trance, ambient beats that makes it very easy to listen too without getting bored.
