专辑介绍

by Rick Anderson

Richard H. Kirk, who currently records under the name Sandoz, was a founding member of the legendary Sheffield band Cabaret Voltaire in the early '70s. Originally a punk band and then an experimental electronic outfit, Cabaret Voltaire was hugely influential on both sides of the Atlantic. As a solo artist, though, Kirk has shown a marked affinity for the dubwise reggae of King Tubby, Lee &Scratch& Perry, and Scientist, and his second album under the Sandoz name finds him paying tribute to those forebears with a program of solid, if not exactly groundbreaking, electronic dub. The album opens on an underwhelming note with the rather pedestrian &Africa (Jahsay),& but quickly picks up speed with the horn-laden &Monopolize and Destroy,& and with &Strike Fire,& which is built on a sort of modified rockers beat complete with flying cymbals. &Civilisation Means Manners (Means Discipline)& is a fine Afrocentric treat, and &Sit in Judgment& offers the album highlight with its fiery horn offbeats. &Spiritual Communication& comes across as a bit cold and sterile, and &I and I Meditation& is just an alternate mix (and not a particularly exciting one) of &Africa (Jahsay).& But &Thousand Year Dread& finishes things off with a bang, with a more complex and faintly nyahbinghi-influenced percussion sound. Not bad at all.
