Punk Funk 12"

Another slab of vinyl from the Elementalz album.

Disappointingly, the title track is lifted straight from the album, however the Underdog and DJ Crystl treatments of Mad Headz both add interest - hypnotic bass on both.

Alphabetical Response 12"

One mixed-race, one black, one yid.

This 12" is from The Brotherhood's third album, Elementalz, and a fine slab of vinyl that is too. Let's face it, rap that name-checks Poohsticks, Worzel Gummidge, Barry Sheene and quotes Frank Bruno has to bring a smile to the face.

I've always liked British rap, but there's precious little of it that's that good, but this stands up well. What really struck me when I first heard it was that they weren't trying to out-gangsta US rappers; in fact there's no gangsta at all.

Instead, we have some clever rhymes, politically aware lyrics, and best of all a dark, brooding feel to everything.

Fine, fine music.
