feels weird ordering a new tackhead album in 2014.
but given that they all now acknowledge that the major label album sucked the big one, i have high hopes for the new stuff.

and i love how they continue to use the SOL for the cover art.

oh yes .. this album is good.all the promise of the early 12" chaos + vocals of bernard fowler.a cover of david bowies 'i'm afraid of americans', and an 8 minute version of 'stealing' !!! i am a very happy happy man .. this is the tackhead album i have wanted for a long long time.

of course, once i sober up, i deserve the right to deny all love of this ..
however, i suspect thats not going to happen as the digital remixes are immense.

sober - ish.
this album is still immense.
best thing i have had stress test the ireallylovemusic soundsystem in a long long time.
yes, fowler is is a massive presence throughout, but the production is far more intense than the major label era material.

I am listening to this now – saw it on Spotify, but never noticed it was new material. Even knowing the Bernard Fowler period, it's weird hearing them do tunes – it's even weirder to hear them do covers of the Ojays and Stevie Wonder.

it's not totally new.
a lot was done as part of a fan funded project a while back.
and yes, its a strange one, but i like it.
makes for a good mix of the bands major label era, and their hard edged material.

Agreed. The Funky President mix by Sherwood w the a Obama samples and Fowler doing a mean JB impression is pretty great. I love these guys.
