Album Review: Working for a Nuclear Free City—Businessmen and Ghosts

This over long album teaches us very little despite trying to teach us a great deal—like many an IT class.

This over long album teaches us very little despite trying to teach us a great deal—like many an IT class. It has no palpable heart or soul. With an exploratory feel and the connotation of thinking it’s going somewhere when there is nowhere to go from here, it makes you want to put a Neil Young record on to remind you what music was, is and inevitably returning to.

Though some tracks like ‘Rocket’ flash Pink Floyd arrangements, overall it has a unspiritualised, anti-organic, over-techno alien vibe. Not truly of anything, it’s empty and seems designed for music lovers that don’t love any particular music. ...City don’t sound like anyone or even like themselves. Musac, not music.
