Description
Politically Incorrect is an album by the American techno project Resolution, released on N•Soul Records in 1994, distributed in the US by Diamante Music Group. The album was produced by Scott Blackwell and Greg Hobgood.
Any album with such a title deserves some respect! Resolution are a four piece band who have emerged from Scott Blackwell‘s studio with a little gem. It’s quite a departure in style for Blackwell to have produced something quite so left field. Though inevitably dance worthy, the sound here is more akin to New Order, perhaps with the occasional tinge of Pet Shop Boys. It’s an almost monotonous sound with drony vocals, but that suits the mood perfectly. It’s the lyrical stance that will grab most people’s attention. Resolution have certainly pulled no punches with their provocatively conservative approach to contemporary issues. Zoo TV-type slogans run around the album sleeve: “Family values come from God, not TV”, “Abortion is the killing of a human life”, “Ethics are not situational” etc. Now you can appreciate the album’s title! Amidst these strong songs crop up surprising but effective covers of Squeeze’s «Tempted» and Larry Norman’s «Watch What You’re Doing». The whole slightly bizarre collection is rounded off by a laid-back dance groove with Psalm 91 read over it. Buy it and be challenged. I think they’d like that.
