More experiments in rhythmic percussion 12 Feb 2002
By Jay M - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This album starts off in the style of 'Seven Songs', but it is not correct to judge this album by '....Songs' standard as that was a classic in its field.

More experimental if I can use that term, the main focus of this album is the group trying to create rhythms tracks centred around the Gamelan style of music from Indonesia. This involves steel drums and other percussion instruments. On the whole they do it very well and some songs are extremely funky to boot! But be warned this is not an album everyone is going to like, even everyone who likes industrial funk, you have to stick with it and give it a couple of re-listens to appreciate it fully. The band were doing their thing on this album and they have to be admired for that.

The start of the album though, as I said, is more recognisable to fans of 'Coup' and more funk orientated songs by the group.

A good album, great for fans, particularly for the fact that it had been deleted for many years before. For those interested in the group but not sure where to start, go for 'Seven Songs' by this group, first. That will ease you into their style a lot easier.

First time on CD! 6 Nov 2001
By yipyipcoyote - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Wonderful reissue of seminal group from early 80's. Rather inaccurately labelled 'industrial', this album alternately reminds one of Pigbag, On-U Sound-like dub music, Muslimgauze, Kodo, early Cabaret Voltaire and... a gamelan ensemble, not necessarily in that order either. Excellent remastering. The only minus seems to be that the CD only lasts 40 minutes. The singles compilation 'The Gospel Comes to New Guinea' is scheduled for release in Jan 2002 and judging from this, should be very interesting as well.
