There are a number of songs on "Let Us Play" that were very political/preachy. In fact, weren't "Pan Opticon" and "Timber" done in tandem with a Greenpeace video project? Check those liner notes! And oh jesus, don't forget that Jello Barfa (sic) piece! > >> >those disgressions aside, what to do as far as political music goes? >> I think that Coldcut does quite a good job on "Pan Opticon." I'm not quite >> sure if that's one of your "sparks", or more. The song has a lot of >> resonance here where a bunch of people are protesting a relocation of a >> highway onto sacred ground to some Native Americans. "This is what you do >> when they come to take you out of your house..." exactly. > > how is the song built? what makes it political/ideological?
