After having waited more than 15 years , we had gotten the brilliant but short "Edit" in 2008.I had to say that my hungryness was far from being satisfied at the time . In the past weekend, on april the 1st , I was looking desperately on the web for any sign for our good old friend Mark, like I do every 3 months, and to my great surprise, I fall on an article on his new album "the politics of envy"....No you must be joking only 4 years after "edit", i was sure it was an april fool's day....but no it's real.This new CD presents lots of collaborations with Primal Scream member(s) , with Keith Levine, with Richard H. Kirk to name but a few. The highlights of this CD are the genial "Want" , a freezing robotic litany in the pure stewart style of the beginnings, "vanity kills" and "black is the color" (apparently only available thru i-tunes).Another highlight could have been the very guitaristic "autonomia", if the primal scream singer would have kept silence...hem.....
It contains as well some very commercial tunes like the transfigured "baby bourgeois" (one of the inissued live tracks) and some exhilarating cover of his own "rise again" (from Edit). Surprisingly, those two could reveal themselves very efficient on the dance floor.
....and cherry on the cake, there is a special edition double CD of this master work......
Viva "the politics of envy"......Viva la revolucion.....Viva Mark Stewart

Mark Stewart's 7th solo studio album is the first without the Maffia, instead of that he collected a bunch of new and old(!) artists around him. Artist like Richard Hell, Bobby Gillispee (Primal Scream), Reggea and dub goeroe Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Gina Birch (Raincoats), Tessa Pollitt (Slits), Keith Levene (Pil), Daddy G. (Massive Attack), Martin Glover (Killing Joke, Youth), Kahn, Nick Void etc. etc. But does it work out?
One simple anwser YES, it works out. Mark is as sharp as ever, with the spirit of a 14 year old youngster he throws his politcal, critical one-liners through the loudspeakers, supported by disturbing and apocalyptic sounds of bass, guitars and other electronic stuff.
Mostly new songs, but also things Mark has played in recent years on stage (Baby Bourgeois, Apocalyps Hotel ("When the rain start pooring down, and you got no water")). And - even again - an old David Bowie cover: Letter to Hermione, one of my favourits already.
Mark succeeds in "Keeping the dream alive". 6 stars!!!
PS. Apologies for the crappy English, i'm a Dutch guy.

In a solo career spanning almost thirty years, this may well be Mark Stewart's most accessible release to date. However, fans of his dense hardcore musical agitation will certainly not feel short-changed by THE POLITICS OF ENVY, which manages to connect with a whole range of musical reference points while never sounding like the work of anyone other than the former Pop Group mainman. Lyrical concerns are foregrounded throughout and speak to Stewart's deep and ongoing commitment to social justice and personal integrity, while guests including Lee "Scratch" Perry, the Raincoats' Gina Birch, Tessa Pollitt of The Slits, underground movie legend Kenneth Anger, NY punkfather Richard Hell, Primal Scream, and Clash/PiL founder member Keith Levene layer rich textures and bright sparks against the tough industrial dubscapes. And to add to the list of Mark Stewart Covers That Shouldn't Work, But Do (see "Forbidden Colours", "Trois Gymnopedies" etc) there's a sweet version of David Bowie's "Letter to Hermione". Essential listening, and strongly recommended.
