about

An outtake from the disparate sessions that produced the debut solo album by former Pop Group frontman Mark Stewart, Learning To Cope With Cowardice, this track has appeared in various different forms and lengths over the years. The version presented here is a nine minute epic (an even longer twelve minute version also exists, but sadly in somewhat reduced fidelity) that first appeared on a 1984 compilation album that instigated the longrunning Belgian avant-garde label Sub Rosa, alongside the distinguished company of William S. Burroughs, Camberwell Now (ex-This Heat) and members of Eyeless In Gaza. A dizzying amalgamation of cut-up record fragments, turntablism, newsreel excerpts, industrial noise, Stewart’s highly distinctive vocals, and a distorted proto-electro beat; the overall effect sounds something like the Wild Style soundtrack had the action been transported from downtown Bronx to Throbbing Gristle’s Death Factory studio. On the sleeve of the original compilation it appeared on, the track was described as being about “the occult technology of power”.

Stewart continues to innovate, intimidate and inspire; and in 2015 The Pop Group, reformed and re-energised, have issued the acclaimed Citizen Zombie album.
