THE MURDER OF ROSA LUXEMBURG
I was blown away the first time I heard The Murder Of Rosa Luxemburg - Worcester's best ever camp math violence crew! A bunch of youngsters who really didn't give a flying fuck about anything apart from the music they were creating! Chaos like no other! Hand claps and 'woos' were a must for Undergroove - we were hooked! They recorded a full-length record - the follow up to their much sought after 7" - and wrote the first avant garde concept album!
Here's what it's all about:
'Everyone's In Love And Flowers Pick Themselves'
Now an old man and with the prospect of death looming, Victor loses all faith in religion and convinces himself that by building a house that cuts him away from society he can take on the superior role of God himself and avoid the concept of Death altogether. However, his disillusionment with his past life acts as a catalyst for his madness inside, where a giant cat and a giant dog fight for his conscience and whatever other life there is left in his naked and passive body. The inevitabilities of Time and Death cannot be avoided and Victor dies a roaming, misguided non-entity without the recognition he would have received through passing away in his past real life.
'Everyone's In Love And Flowers Pick Themselves' was recorded by Joe Gibb (Million Dead, Johnny Truant, Funeral For A Friend) at Mighty Atom Studios, Swansea, Wales. The Murder Of Rosa Luxemburg are: Andy Jackson, Thomas Bush, Shaun Hencher, Simon Lucas, Joel Armstrong. Visit the official website: www.themurderof.co.uk
