فتح (10th Anniversary Reissue)

Ten years ago, Homicide's MC/beatmaker, Morgue Vanguard from Bandung, and ex-turnablist of Dälek, Still from Brooklyn NY, agreed to create a collaboration. During that time they exchanged ideas, references, inspiration, documents, beats and other soundbites which became a canvas for Morgue Vanguard's politically-charged rhymes. Documenting the local grassroot struggle against, the class war and imperialism, corporate control, endless expansion of the machine and the history of poverty (plus a musicalization of Chairil Anwar's poetry) over a landscape of ambient and hip-hop beats that sound somewhere between the Bomb Squad catalogue, Scott Walker, Marley Marl and Einstürzende Neubauten.
