Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a ferocious, rhythmically dense manifesto, this collaborative project fuses the pounding bass grooves of the Sugarhill Records rhythm section with aggressive British industrial noise. The extensive political sampling and Gary Clail's shouted vocal chants helped lay crucial early groundwork for the impending industrial hip-hop crossover.
