Usually I have some kind of loose theme
for my posts, but recent events have fucked up my mind-track. So i'm
just gonna do random selections from the category known on iTunes as
“Other”.
Its a prestige pigeon-hole to be sorted
into, one the straights have invented to put artists that cannot be
pigeon-holed.
Such an act is the prolific Big City
Orchestra,who have a back catalogue the size of the Welwyn Garden
City phone book. Another category this combo usually gets lumbered
with, is “Experimental”. Which is an adequate adjective for this
highly inventive uncategorisable otherness.
It contains a virtual anthem for our
times in “Child Abuse”, with found dialogue that both exposes the
attitudes to under age exploitation and the accusing finger of
peado-paranoia of the 21st century. Almost a foot tapper.
Tracklist:
A1 | White Sale | 3:16 |
A2 | Child Abuse | 4:36 |
A3 | Sex Dance | 4:04 |
A4 | Chimes Video | 3:56 |
A5 | Wolf Boy Eyes | 2:36 |
B1 | I Turned It Off | 2:06 |
B2 | Tax Talk | 4:29 |
B3 | Commercial | 4:20 |
B4 | Spidey Ub's Out | 4:26 |
B5 | Fuzzy Wuzzy | 5:30 |
