With a relatively pared-back production and fairly rudimentary lyrics, the Audio Bullys' "Ego War" album fills a nice hole in electronic music at the moment. The aforementioned simplicity of the Bullys' songs allows the listener to hear the music and the lyrics in concert with each other instead of the current trend of a "noise battle" of alot of stuff coming out.

All of their (recent) well-known songs are here, but my particular fave is "Face In The Cloud", which samples the old Family / Ric Grech vocal very nicely, and is not currently released as a single. The "hidden track" is the only weak point in my opinion, and comes across as a bit of a gimmicky afterthought. But it is still streets (excuse the pun) ahead of contempory music in this genre.

Well done guys!!!
