Reviews
darker than griots, Dalek's further foray into blending noise with rapping reached its pinnacle here, kicking off with 7 minute epic of "distorted prose" this continues onto the album with "culture for dollars" and "opiate the masses".
on a more positive note, having recently seen Dalek play live, (now stripped to a two-piece, so it's doubtful you'll hear these tracks played live) I asked Will if he would consider reissuing some of the older stuff including this one. he said they'd hopefully get around to it so here's to hoping, as current prices are too much.
