Fear Of A Black Kennett - Various - R*E*P*E*A*T
Records Review from Uncle Skank
The latest comp from Cambridge scene stalwarts R*E*P*E*A*T Records, bringing together the cream of the UK rock scene for this benefit for Love Music, Hate Racism. Starring bigger names like Asian Dub Foundation, King Adora, Kinesis and The Dawn Parade alongside new comers and soon to be great Virgin Suicides, Neo and Antihero. The return of the brand new Miss Black America Blending some crazy electronic effects with blinding riffs are Antihero with "Who's Looking Out For #1?" which has a weird mid-90's feel to it but is nonetheless a great tune.

full effect of this song. Starting off with a slice of double bass pedal
to launch into their punky tune "Die In America", Neo have
a great style and sense to fuse their different sounds together and
the end result is as exciting as it is The final track by Asian Dub Foundation sums up the whole CD with this
amazing song fusing together too many styles to list. This CD has Good music for a good cause. You have no excuse not to get this record. Pete
