This was the first Rude Corps EP and existed basically as nothing more than a dump for a few tracks I'd written which apparently didn't fit my plans for any forthcoming album. As a result it's kind of aimless, shapeless and pointless. It's another I haven't listened to in donkey's and it feels much closer to late Unknown-period stuff: some of the beats are ok, but the melodies are bad and arrangements are super-basic. I had it in my head that there was a couple of ok-ish tracks: I think "Private Apocalypse" has the germs of some ideas I would later do better, but aye.... mostly it's just shite. Entirely skippable.
In view of how mediocre this EP is I'm a little surprised that it was one I did a re-mix of around May 2007. That's the version I'll make available. Only other thing to note I think is the sample from King Curtis' "Memphis Soul Stew" which got hideously abused on "Self-Indulgence...." - sorry about that.
