The nigga Mahler continues to get no respect with his very kind shares, so here I am doing what's RIGHT! Top crusher of...noise rock? Godflesh archetype? Accidental Scorn? Slab! predated those groups, but it's no secret that Broadrick and Harris were fans of the band (Mick taped their 12"s for homies even in Napalm days). Organically groovy and methodically paced with no drum machines, zony Gira-ish vocals, and nearly grindcore-distorted bass (that dominates the songs, let alone the overall mix) take you to drug places minus the drugs. I'm not sure that this sound in general...which usually got relegated to the "industrial" bins...was really a part of ANY scene, but that only increases my own admiration and fervent curiosity! Taped off the radio by Mahler, remastered decades later by him, with Peel's one-man-greek-chorus left mostly intact.
