COMMUTER - Strike Rising, Ample Fire

Several degrees removed from Jackson Abdul-Salaam’s work as Junta Cadre & Herukrat, the density of sound comprising ‘Strike Rising, Ample Fire’ speaks with more immediacy than words. The material contained within is a snarling maelstrom of sheer cathartic energy – a firestorm burning away mental cobwebs. Clearly a reflection on the times we find ourselves in, ‘Strike Rising’ is a counter-assault on the complacency so many have found in squalor: an attempt to awaken from somnambulistic stasis. An objective glimpse of our communities reflected back to us. Commuter urges liberation from the debris in which we find ourselves mired. This is only the World we are bound to, if we allow it to be.Previously distributed hand-to-hand through a small circle of adepts in a highly limited private edition, ‘Strike Rising’ is now made available to those with the courage to tread into the fray - embellished with additional material created in mind of this this debut World Asylum edition. This is not the sound of destruction, but a summoning call to those who would join in the reclamation of self and surroundings, the sound of a new paradigm being birthed.
