IT IS THE BUSINESS OF THE FUTURE TO BE DANGEROUS (1993)

This album should be entitled Church Of Hawkwind II.

Lots of wanky keyboard based instrumentals... long instrumentals... I mean instrumentals that just go on and on and on.... zzzzzz.

There are only four "songs" on the album -- a pitiful cover of the Stones "Gimme Shelter" (sung by Chadwick, are they trying the Stranglers' approach to hitdom??); "The Camera That Could Lie" which is constructed entirely out of a reggaefied coda from the PALACE SPRINGS version of "Damnation Alley;" a mating of thefirst verse of "Assault and Battery" from WARRIOR with the chorus of "Looking to the Future" from (ta da!) Church; and a song called "Technotropic Zone exists" which astonishingly appears to be original!!

A monumentally flaccid album, and a big let downafter Tepee.

If this is it, they've officially entered three-piece hell....

BLANGA SCORE: 1.
