Various Artists – "Eat The Rich : A Benefit Tape For War On Want" (Anal Probe – 003) 1984

There's a certain Nazi's care about the impoverished kinda of vibe going down here. I'm certain there was little or no funds raised from this lo-fi mish mash of dark bedsit land dwelling noise-niks. Its like those geezers who prowl the streets on 'Children In Need' Day with a Bucket collecting donations,then pop down the pub to spend the 'winnings'; but i have strong reservations whether this so-called benefit 'War tape for 'War on Want'raised enough for half a lager,never mind helping Kids with Cancer. Its probably a not so clever attempt to make the Industrial artists on here look more acceptable to decent society. Just what War On Want need is a Charity record on 'Anal Probe' records...especially on Children In Need Night? What is acceptable to these ears,is the cotton wool in the ears muffled sound quality so beloved in the offices of 'Die or DIY?'.The ferric Oxide coated playback heads of your cassette player will love you for it. Especially enhancing the terrible UK82 contributions from Society's Victims, making it even crapper than it was in 1984. There's a few pretty ordinary but dull and dampened industrial droning soundscapes that please the ear,even with the ear plugs out, and the traditional appearance of BBC sound Effects volume 2,"Marching Soldiers(120bpm)"...yes the exact same one that was used on "Holidays In The Sun".Only outscored by " Breaking Glass",also on volume 2. A favourite for DIY Industrial acts everywhere. UnKommuniti had some chap from geek miesters Stereo Lab as a member,if you're interested, which you're probably not.Just filling up the space with meaningless factoids. Mass In Black sounded quite good anyway. Finishing on a comforting note: We will get our chance to Eat The Rich soon enough,when they are dragged out of their Bunkers by their own security staff,and turned over, Alive, to the baying mob. ENJOY!
