Barmy Army Family Pick

I couldn't stay away. More of the On-U Sound, Tackhead, Adrian Sherwood pick. This time it's Barmy Army. A one off, which is too bad since I like it. I actually didn't know it was associated with Sherwood until after I bought the album. I got it because it was related to Soccer/Football. It has everyone from Tackhead except for Keith LeBlanc. Add on Style Scott and a few surprises and you have it. The first track is really Barmy Army with Primal Scream sampling Irvine Welsh, cursing up a storm, for another soccer associated track. A bunch of Barmy Army (basically half the album) and then Tackhead with the soccer track that inspired Sherwood to form Barmy Army in the first place. Scientist has a track from his World Cup album (good album) which has Roots Radics featured on it. I didn't add Dub Syndicate, but it would have been appropriate. Alien Jourgenson, Jah Wobble, Rolo McGinty, David Harrow all appear on the album on at least one track, so therefore Ministry, Invaders of the Heart, Woodentops and James Hardway (alias for Harrow). Could have added Bunny Wailer, Jazz Butcher and everything in the Tackhead posts over the last two weeks. Bill Laswell is not associated directly, but I had a chance to use a track with Style Scott so I seized it. Not all of this is Soccer oriented, but a lot is.
