Fuzzhead – "God Bless Your Short Attention Span" (Heliocentric Worlds Of Sound C-60) 1991


 A C-60 of Fuzzhead's earlier cassettes compiled from their Freaky Hip-Hop post club plunderphonia era. Existing within the realms of some kinda unpopular Hippie Hop transition phase.
Thankfully they stuck all of that stuff on one C-60 to register it for posterity before they made the correct choice to get freaky.
As much as I prefer their freakout psych-noise stylee, this has an almost acceptable commercial tinge from the shit end of that particular drumstick,and serves as a gateway sound for youngsters over thirty to find an appreciation of the spontaneous, and less likely, a conduit for noisy psychedelics to be exposed to something that has nothing at all to do with "It Takes A Nation Of Millions to Hold Us Back, but you can see what they mean through the toxic smoke of Chuck Zyklon D's less advised moments.
Yep, this sounds nothing like any Hip-Hop I'm aware of,in fact its a tenuous connection,but has all the hallmarks of someone trying to find their way around a darkened room guided only by the extreme boredom of a drum loop drawing you closer to the edge of a cliff.
A concept embraced by the Tik-Tok generation,who swarm the highways and by-ways of the world wide web like lemmings looking for a way out of the labyrinth as long as the exit doesn't involve anything longer than 30 seconds of screen-time.
