Minor chord intense meditations on death, beautiful and fragile instrumentals, topical and poetic songs and more. Songs include The Horrors of War, African War Call, When I Lay Me Body Down In The Grave, Exploiting, Inequality Of Life and Death. Real masterpieces here. Not a clunker in the bunch. Old school "tip on" cover.
