Armed Audio Warfare

Although credited nowhere on this release, all recordings were remastered by Jack Dangers from the original tapes. The version of "Reanimator" featured here is exclusive to the "[m=32310]" releases. The songs, "Kneel & Buzz" and "Kick That Man" are incorrectly switched around in the tracklisting. Track 6 is "Kick That Man", and track 7 is "Kneel & Buzz". Track 9, "Give Your Body Its Freedom", is a different edit of the song on the "[m=32374]" single. Track 10 is identified as "Mars Needs Women", while on the original 1990 cassette and CD pressings of "[m=32310]" it is spelled "Marrs Needs Women". This song is a different version of "Mars Needs Women", which appears the "[m=32369]" single. Despite the above discrepancies, the individual track notes from the booklet read: 1: Unreleased "burnt" remix of "God O.D.", recorded December 1988. 2, 11: Unreleased track recorded February 1988. 3: From [l5176] compilation "[r=427736]" released May 1988. 4: From unreleased 12" [SOX 037] scheduled for release during August 1988. 5, 6, 7: From "[r=47126]" debut e.p. limited to 1500 copies, released December 1987. 8: From unreleased "Suck Hard" CD single, recorded January 1988. 9: Original version of "Strap Down" released June 1988. 10: Flip side of "[m=32369]" single released December 1988. Obscured by the stylized booklet design, additional notes read: Meat Beat Manifesto's debut album, "Armed Audio Warfare" was scheduled for release in May 1988. The masters to that album were damaged in a fire at Meat Beat HQ, Berwick St, Soho. New tracks were written and recorded, then released as the double album "Storm the Studio" (SDX 040/CD) in May 1989. This album is a compilation of previously unreleased and rare tracks that embody the initial furore of Meat Beat's manifesto. Had "Armed Audio Warfare" been released as planned, it might have sounded like this.
