P.I.L is Bill Laswell's band?!?!? No, sahib, you are sadly mistaken.
P.I.L. & Laswell have worked together (the World Party / P.I.L. duo
comes to mind...), but Public Image Ltd. -- aka P.I.L. -- is and has
been Johnny Lydon's band (formerly "Johnny Rotten" of the Sex Pistols)
and not Laswell's since the late 70's.
And the Generic Album (1985 -- yes, titled "Album" or "Cassette" or "CD"
on the cover) is okay, but "The Flowers of Romance" (1981) is the real
P.I.L. record everyone should own -- for the song "Four Enclosed Walls"
if nothing else. (A song which really cries out for a DJ remix using the
drum lines, if you ask me.)
As far as Laswell goes, I think his Sacred System work with Nicky
Skopelitis, Bernie Worrell & Jah Wobble is one of his more constantly
interesting projects. And the Divination discs are good as well,
although perhaps far too ambient for some.
