Mmmmm, nice!?
Here we have the charmingly christened ‘Male Rape Group’.Not surprisingly containing Philip Best, no stranger to Taboo challenging and liberal baiting releases like the "White Power" compilation,and the subject matter of his Consumer Electronics/Ramleh tapes.
A sense of humour is prevalent in
almost all areas of life in the British Isles, but this seems to have
been forgotten when it comes to making Industrial music. Although that
other British trait, repressed anger, is here in bucket loads. A Power
Electronics ‘supergroup’ ,containing early Whitehouse member, and
consumer Electronics / Ramleh geezer Philip Best, with the founder of
Ramleh and Mr Broken Flag records himself, Gary Mundy. Its the standard Come
Organisation style racket ,of skin peeling overloaded electronics and
distorted screamed vocals; no doubt screeching about forced non
consensual anal sex, murder or Nazi’s. The perpetrators would no doubt
be wearing leather trousers, the odd jackbooted synth abuser standing in
the background, and appear to be thoroughly unpleasant chaps. The
object of the music, would not be to confront the listener with
uncomfortable truths, as they would have us believe; but rather to
shock,in an increasingly unshockable world; because they can! There are
probably millions of people who would be shocked by this, their plebeian
sensibilities offended, leading to angry reactions, and gross acts of
violence. This stuff could actually cause a drunken mob of outraged
proletarians to start burning books,and opening exhibitions of
degenerate art. Then there are the fans who misunderstand this music so
much that they begin to believe in what these fellows shout and scream
about. Although ideologically dodgy, this 23 minute opus is a very
enjoyable, even cathartic, experience; if you like that kind of thing.
Play it loud,once.
