Reply #8: Clutch - "Robot Hive/Exodus"....

[CrownPrinceBandar]

totally smoking album. Clutch has developed a sound thats a good mix between heavy and funky.

Midnight Oil - "Red Sails in the Sunset" I have been dipping into the Oils for a little while now, being satisfied with what I have been hearing. However this album blows me away. "When the Generals Talk" is an uncharacteristic funky, techno number, and "Jimmy Sharman's Boxers" a compelling, haunting song that tells the story of the exploitation of aboriginal boxers:

"...From the red dust north of Dalmore Downs
Sharman's tents roll into town.
Twelve will face the auctioneer.
Sharman's boxers stand their ground.
Fighting in the spotlight
Eyes turn blacker than their skin
For Jimmy Sharman's boxers
It's no better if you win.

Why are we fighting for this?
Why are you paying for this?
You pay to see me fall like shrapnel to the floor. "
