Photo 29 Nov I’ve been revisiting a lot of things from my archives lately, this Andrew Weatherall comp being one of the most memorable. The Amazon reviewer puts it well: The unmixed 13 tracks, serving as a bit of a soundtrack to Weatherall’s pharmacological warrior days (check the title), represent a broad range of styles, from experimental-industrial (23 Skidoo) to reggae (Aswad and, less obviously, Colourbox) to new wave (Chris and Cosey, the Normal) to the completely indescribable (Mad Professor’s dub shakedown of “400 Blows”). Whoever says they’re already familiar with every single cut here is simply a big fat liar, and that’s what’s so thrilling about it.
