Look at the song titles - Justice, Feed The Hungry, Blind Faith, Forces Of Oppression, There Are No Spectators. Nothing being produced in 2025 competes with this in terms of insight and relevance. The Pop Group - more than just a pop group. @ThePopGroup

Mixed by @onusound orignator Adrian Sherwood, the rework of Korgi's 1980 hit, is steeped in Mark's tranformative cut up techinques. “I grew up doing montages; I did this collage of Ronald Reagan's head on this gay porno cowboy. In fact, I've never really grown up at all. I'm still trying to put round things into square holes.” - Mark Stewart
