Not exactly an album this one but an EP, clocking in just over 15 minutes but with 12 songs, so you get very short bursts of sonic intensity . An interesting experience to listen to this band again after all these years and a surprise that they are still releasing music after all those years. I had a vinyl copy of their 1983 "Death Church" LP which I was ecstatic to score from my favorite record store on import way back then. Anarcho-Punk (think Crass, Flux of Pink Indians), I thought wasn't a long lasting branch of the British punk scene and I am pleasantly surprised that these guys are still producing music of almost exactly the same type as they were 20 years before and even more surprising is that they can still make it interesting. I have been listening to this several times today as well as tonight and it hasn't yet got tiring. Some good riffing on these short tracks and I almost find myself humming along. Someone once said to me when I was about 19, that I would grow out of this type of music. I am glad to say I have't and even more glad to say neither have Rudimentary Peni. My Rating 3.5/5.
