THE FURY OF ICU

[trev]

I've had it reviewed (independently)
it seems it's better than I thought.
it's got a "parental advisory" label on it

"Do you want some proper Hawkwind stuff?" asks the very excited 
promoter/MC - the enthusiastic crowd naturally yells in the affirmative and 
what do they get? A fucking rockin' blasting punkoid set with good quality 
sound and a magnificent vibe that'll press the ejection button on your 
armchair like James Bond's Aston Martin... this ain't Hawkwind, this is real 
high octane stuff - even Nik (so often a little long winded) gets carried 
along with the 'short fast and furious'  mindset.  Sids Song - for the late 
Mr Vicious (from Maximum Effect) has never sounded better - this is prime 
time Inner City Unit at their very very very best, just after the M.E. album 
had come out, and they never sounded better.  No matter how much you loved 
the studio stuff they were always really a live band and it doesn't get 
liver than this - fantastic guitar from the god-like Judge Trev (predating 
melodic thrash metal by years), drums like you never heard before from 
Dino - Steve Took missed out big time when Nik grabbed these two off him! 
Dead Fred completes the line up, so it's a minimum crew giving - literally - 
Maximum Effect!  A cursory nod to Rolf Harris (!) from Nik's comb n paper 
plus stylophone (on the obligatory Masters Of The Universe) in no way 
diminishes the all out rocking that went on this night... Dino on Space 
Invaders out-drums Philthy Animal Taylor and the all-biker audience is 
simply stunned into submission. No bullshit, this stands as an all time 
great live album, along with Kick Out The Jams, Live at Leeds, No Sleep 
'til..... the tuinol 'n sulphate crowd of the time can't have know what hit 
'em but YOU CAN!  Buy this fantasic record and TURN IT UP!!!!!!!!  Even yer 
grandma will wet her knickers and slide off her seat.... in a word - 
essential. In three words "The Dogs Bollox" - if you don't rush out and get 
this you must be criminally insane.
