"Amazing album. Marks the change from Sui Generis' previous folky sound into the progressive sound which would remain well into Garcia's following project, La Maquina de Hacer Pajaros. The album itself is their first concept album (each track represents an institution from the argentinian governme..."  [+]  Reply

"Borrowing heavily from the Bristol rave scene, the East London grime scene and the dub poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson, London Zoo is an abrasive, claustrophobic assault of harsh percussion, heavy sub-bass and aggressive West Indian patois that was surprising as much for its' brash, unrelenting at..."  [+]  Reply
