Baghdad Stomp!
Not that I have anything new to say on the war front, nobody would care if I did. Another song about Mesopotamia
False Prophets - Baghdad Stomp.mp3
from the False Prophets self titled 1986 album, re-released in 2000 with extras as “Blind roaches, Fat vultures…” An apropos cut from a smart, multi-talented band. For years I always thought of them as astraight up hardcore band, based upon their track on the P.E.A.C.E. comp. A listen to the album suggests that the band was much more varied in their approach. Still waiting for the folks at alternative tentacles to do the right thing and re-release 1987’s “Implosion”

Found your blurb on the Web… it’s a slow day at work.
Glad you liked the band, yes, we were far too varied to fit the hardcore scene. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that Implosion will ever be reissued. I wrote most of the music on it–I was the band’s bass player–but the producer was an arrogant asshole. I hate what he did to it, but I don’t think AT or anyone is going to pay me to remix it, which is the only thing that would make it palatable.
I’m still playing, my main current project is doing the live soundtrack to artist Seth Tobocman’s slide show.
