Popis - EXORCISM OF ENVY [VINYL]:
In the finest dub tradition, Mark Stewart has returned to his highly-acclaimed The Politics Of Envy album, sonically savaging it into a new monster, suitably entitled Exorcism Of Envy.
Released on December 3rd 2012, the set sees Stewart revisit the soundscapes which hotwired the original album as a viciously spot-on aural depiction of our world, remoulding its ingredients with gloves off and intensity levels on overdrive.
"I've got this nonchalance that nothing is sacred," declared Stewart earlier this year; 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. In the style of Jamaican titans like Jack Ruby, he rips out the songs ghost to give it a fresh kicking, taking care to keep the soul alive, often with a new title; Autonomia becomes Attack Dogs, Gang War turns into Mirror Wars [featuring Xacute], recent single Stereotype becomes the electro-yearn of Sexorcist and Vanity Kills swells into a swarming monolith of electrocuted sonic tendrils. Meanwhile, the previously beatless version of Bowie's Letter to Hermione is amped into Letter [Full Of Tears] aboard the filthiest funk bassline. "I've deconstructed in the tradition of dub," explains Stewart. "The original dub masters experimented and for me experimentation really matters, crashing in an index of possibilities. Its an expansion of my recent album, stripping it back to a skeletal dub and then burying it in bi-products of our hyper media."
The Politics Of Envy is a stunning work of gladiatorial proportions, a seething arena of stellar collaborations and deceivingly dislocated backdrops, shot with Stewarts twistedly eloquent observations and manifestos. After spending the last three decades watching his innovations plundered and turned into gold by friends and foes, he coolly returned with his most high profile album to date, re-establishing him as one of the most volcanic creative minds this country has ever produced.
Recent single Stereotype has shown how Stewart could also make the perfect post-punk pop song over 30 years on. Now he's capping his remarkable year with his most gloriously ferocious statement yet, blowing up the sound system with proper aural anarchy.
