I know they have 5 or 6 cd's because I have them all! (except the Bhutto
CD single). I think I like Z'lum the best, as it is a little mellower
than their other stuff, which tends to sometimes get a little aggressive
for me. It turns out that a friend of mine is good friends with them, so I
asked him what their politics were, etc., because the covers are loaded with
pro-PLO stuff, but he says that's all image <:\ ??! I thought this was
kinda weird, but he says they're just a couple white german guys into a
kinda ethno-fuck music thing, which I found disillusioning/problematic.
damn, and they're such fierce tracks...
The newest cd has a greenish picture of shrouded muslim women firing pistols.
I don't think this is "vote hezbolla," but even if it is, can someone say
what it's like in relation to their other stuff?
