Isle Of Grain
words by Sam Walton
If Underworld swapped their beats for jazzy drones, John Lydon reformed PiL with a Lancashire accent and Spiritualized got their hands on Mark E Smith and a shed load of uppers, they might all be close to appropriating One More Grain’s unique sound. Fusing post-punk performance poetry with darkly textured, cinematic fusion jazz that could’ve come straight off a Ninja Tune release, ‘Isle of Grain’ is a perfect example of great English psychedelia, laced with subtle humour, imagination, intrigue and no little invention.

Plastic Passion - Contrived Imagery
They're saying that punk's dead, y'know? Spiritually, if not physically.
Wetdog - Enterprise Reversal
Had ‘Enterprise Reversal’ been a five track EP of a release its toneless blahs from lead shouter Rivka Gillieron would have still been a struggle to sit through.
