Walter & Sabrina: 'We Sing For The Future' (Danny Dark). Some Marxist-Leninist pop across for tracks with a quick time movie of the title track. On first listen it sounds like a wonky foreign choir singing weirdly translated carols over pompous sounding orchestration. Dig a little deeper and you'll realise the agit-prop aesthetic in the lyrics and the so-called avant-garde music as written by Cornelius Cardew and arranged by Walter Cardew and Stephen Moore. It's like the music you hear in experimental film/theatre, just not sure which or whose future they're singing for. It'd be album of the week if I had my say. Who the fook are Stock Aitken and Waterman?

... saw a point in this drift of the fog of evil and identified it. They believed they cared, maybe they did but that, actually, makes no difference. They believed they could do nothing other than ask that whoever might hear, if they get a chance, to help those who were about to suffer.
