What do you get when you mix the musical mischief of Acumen and the diabolical
intensity of Clay People? Well, you end up with inanely silly covers of Nitzer
Ebb tracks and really odd electronic pieces along side the usual array of
guitar fanfare. This bizarre collection of artisans is better known as Iron
Lung Corporation and the mayhem present on this record is something to watch
with veiled amusement. There are plenty of the usual tongue in cheek lyrical
wonderments as well as a healthy dose of chunky guitars to thrill the
headbanger in you Jamie Duffy even gets a track all to his own to terrify and
surprise all those guitar purists. The only downside to this album is that
there really wasn't enough collaboration. All of the tracks either sounded like
Acumen outtakes or solo efforts by various members of both bands. Overall there
is very little material on this record that all six members contributed to
equally. As a result, the album appears very lopsided in places, and should
probably be considered as a new Acumen release rather than a collaboration
effort.
