Details: Product Description Fifth album from UK electronica act. Featuring the first single 'Real Great Britain'. 2000 release. Standard jewel case. Amazon.ca Community Music, Asian Dub Foundation's third album, wastes no time in establishing their agenda. From the opening splash of atonal guitar and bubbling analog synths "Real Great Britain" sets out a formidable futurist manifesto. "Time to reject the 60s charade!" screams Master D over a furious breakbeat and thunderous guitar riff that digs up the rotting corpse of rock past and confronts it with the howling face of rock future. Tracks like "Officer XX" and "Memory War" show that the group have harnessed the infectious energy that characterizes their live shows and splintered it off into furious sonic bombs. In ADF's hands "Taa Deem", a "remix" of a standard by the late , becomes a -style romper stomp, the Pakistani singer miraculously transformed into Qawwali Johnny Rotten. But then just to confuse matters ADF throw sweeter elements into the pot with equal verve. The album swerves through the Morricone-influenced epic "The Judgement", string-suffused sing-a-long of "Collective Mode", the call of "Rebel Warrior" and the violin-tinged deep dub of "Crash"--all of which have melodic hooks that slay on first listen. -- Chris Campion
