Description

Community Music, Asian Dub Foundation's third album, wastes no time in establishing their agenda. From the opening splash of atonal guitar and bubbling analogue 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 visage of rock future. Tracks like "Officer XX" and "Memory War" show that the group have harnessed the infectious energy that characterises their live shows and splintered it off into furiousmore… sonic bombs. In ADF's hands "Taa Deem", a "remix" of a standard by the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, becomes a Bad Brains-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
