Review by jahwhitey Jul 09, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

While not necessarily Pigface's finest album as a whole, the second disc carries some of the most incredible work the group ever did. The combination of Martin Atkins' rock drumming, Mick Harris' gut-busting sub-bass, and Genesis P-Orridge's salacious storytelling shows how this so-called supergroup was able to combine the strengths of its collaborators, though later incarnations never again met this musical zenith. Highlights from the first disc include the Marc Heal fronted "Burundi" and the hip-hoppy "Warzone".
