Editorial Reviews

Eclectic Discs are pleased to announce the release this classic album by the legendary and infamous Edgar Broughton Band. Superchip was recorded in 1981 and was the band’s first completely conceptual work. It’s a clever and biting social commentary on Thatcher’s Britain, big business greed, acid rain, superpowers and the arms race.

This review is from: Superchip: The Final Silicon Solution (Audio CD)

If Mister Spock had scanned the entire Earth in 1981 he would've stood strait, stepped back and uttered..."facinating"...right after he scanned this album!...In the desert wasteland of post 70s music this record stands like a pyramid next to "Moving Pictures" and maybe no others as the last great albums in Earths evolution. Sadly the future of music seemingly died with Randy Rhoads...and if you want to know why, buy "Superchip" and study it like a college text-book!...A complete concept album in every way,...fast paced, funny, scarry, weird and fantastic musicianship...Broughton, Grant & Broughton are as classic as the three stooges! Arthur Grant is second to no one on bass guitar,...solid as a rock! And although Edgars' guitar work is not the feature that it was on the first five albums 69-73, theres so much going on, and so many fresh new sounds you wont miss it. Unless you only prefer the "Love In The Rain"..."I Got Mad"...trademark sound of this band. If so you may be disapointed,...there's a lot of keyboard to be sure. Also you need a good sound system and ears that function,...there are sound effects out the ying yang...an a vocal presentation an auctioneer would marvel at!...Fortunately the lyrics are included along with a brief word from Edgar. Young people if you want to know whats happening this is the best 38 minutes of clues there is. "The Virus" a 17 minute bonus track from 1996 uses samples of "Superchip" in a techno-ambient pastiche in an attempt to bring closure to the story...But "The Final Silicon Solution" continues!...Why do some think that mind-control is being implemented...by the 50s when the Nazis had fully usurped our government, they started expiriments with 149 task forces under the c.i.a. umbrella...implanting micro-chips in humans stems from those expiriments!...But the technology may be older than Earths' human race!...Consider, what would a chimpanze transform into after 200,000 years of behavioral modification implants? To me anyone who dosen't believe in mind control are like those who believed the world is flat even after Columbus proved otherwise. So how do you know how bad-off you are?...Well if your over 30, listen to top 40 radio for a length of time, the sooner you begin to feel your colon clinch the better off you are!...If your under 30, your job is to find a solution to 'their' solution!...Mine is a plant (mammals evolved by inhaling plant by-products)...it's hard to brainwash the stoned!....This CD covers alot of music styles on the totally electric end,...and I could go on and on...so lastly if you like the BEATS of modern music...you'll find a pioneering track right here "Save Me Keep Me" is the song part of track 11 "Do You Wanna Be Immortal" reggae-rap that hasn't dated...indeed it seems like it was written about life today...so you see Edgar Broughton is perhaps the clearest visionary recording artist in history!!!!!Do yourself a favor and give'em a listen..."Oora" 1973 is probably their best...But get their DVD "At Rockpalast" 2006...it's their only release of new material since "Superchip"...Then you'll see why the party should be at Edgars...oh and don't forget brother Steve (what a cool drummer)! These guys deserve better than the R&R hall of lame!...How 'bout the underground house of cool...OXOz choice,
