From the hard industrial dance oriented sounds of tracks like "Peace Repackaged", "Death Valley Clapperboard" & "Bag of Biros", to the jazzy downtempo tracks like "Snapshot on Pollard Street" & "Morning Will Come When I'm Not Ready", they made an incredible exercise of stile.
What to said of the incredible voice of Mc Buzz B on songs like "Straight at Yer Head" or "The Guide", the funny sounds of "Bag of Biros" or the incredible classic rock soud of "Fire Up the Shoesaw".
If you don't have enough with all that, it comes with a second free cd with old material, remixes & b sides, including the vocal mix of "Fire Up the Shoesaw", and another fantastic electro-rock track: "Call a Cab".
This is an album to reclaim. While "Dig your hole" (The Chemical brothers), "Fat of the Land" (The Prodigy) & "You come a long way, baby" (Fatboy Slim) sold millions of copies in 1997 with very similar ideas, Lionrock's "An Instinct for Detection" is getting forgoten because they did it one year before them.
