Test Department - The Unacceptable Face Of Freedom

Ripped from a vinyl album released on Ministry Of Power Records (MOP 2) in 1986 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. Blog follower penguinflight called this album correctly the other night as the follow up post to the Welsh miners' collaboration. Actually, it is his album, very generously donated a few years back, which I have finally found the right moment to rip and post.

This is a record which just oozes anger, it is a defiant reference to the darkest days of a Thatcher's Britain where the state machine was used to suppress the rights of those who spoke against the government's policies.

When you reflect back on the ideology some 30 years later, reflect also that we actually built stuff back then, compared to these modern times all we seem to do is sit around in offices reading/sending emails ...or serving coffee to those who sit in offices reading and sending emails. I don't want to turn this into a political rant however The Unacceptable Face Of Freedom clearly defines the transformation of Britain from an industrial powerhouse into a subservient service society.
