I, as many others, have eagerly anticipated the newest release from SR and was first introduced to them in the early 80's with their 'original line-up' at a PiL concert.

The current line up, in my estimation, is just as stellar.

1938 has a real feel of 'sturm and drang' to it--there's powerful industrial influenced music, ominiously inspired by infamous political occupations of the 20th century and relayed impeccably.
Showcasing SR's versitility, the albums songs seguay from darkness to fantastic surf-influenced songs, transfixing asiatic templates, Bunnyesque romanticism....it's a beautiful and inspired array of each musician's talent.

I would highly recommend this cd to SR fans, and to those who want to experience a new genre of music. There's a timelessness to it; it is, assuredly, NOT stale, nor disappointing.
