Big Audio Dynamite
This Is Big Audio Dynamite [Reissue] - Legacy
FILTER Grade: 85%

As Mick Jones’ escape hatch from The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite’s ingenious debut marked the final break from punk’s seething ethos towards a more philosophic approach to Thatcherite miseries. An even now almost unimaginable collision of punk, funk, hip-hop and film sound bites, tracks like “Medicine Show” and “E = MC2” still stand up as powerful meditations on social injustice. And, the explosive “Bottom Line” once again reminds us that you can dance your fucking ass off while vigorously shouting down the man. This is your call to arms.
