EXORCISM OF ENVY -LP+CD-

In the finest dub tradition, Mark Stewart has returned to his highly-acclaimed The Politics of Envy (FNM 002CD/LP/LTD-CD) album, sonically savaging it into a new monster, suitablyentitled Exorcism of Envy. This album sees Stewart revisit the soundscapes which hotwired the original album as a viciously spot-on aural depiction of our world, re-molding its ingredients with gloves off and intensity levels on overdrive. I've got this nonchalance that nothing is sacred, declared Stewart; a crucial element in this mission as he deconstructs songs such as Apocalypse Hotel, Method to the Madness, Codex, and Want, retaining the original essence but sand-blasting them into skull-crushing or soul-challenging new versions.
