M.I.A.
After talking to many folks about this album? From here and abroad?
It's a very different story.
When Galang dropped in 04 in Sydney Australia?
We went nuts.
Not just a lil rowdy?
Nuts.
So when Arular came out in 05?
It became the banger of the year.
A month and a half later Trent Reznor drops With Teeth and then goes on record saying that he wishes his album was as dynamic Arular by M.I.A.
Immediately sending the flag out to work with her.
Everyone who was everyone wanted this girl to work with them.
So I can understand why this album is in the list of things you need to listen to?
Cause if you think about the scene back then with everyone complaining about "real instruments"?
And the flood of faux garage and rock groups?
Jet, The Hives, The Strokes, White Stripes and all of that?
Out of nowhere comes a refugee banger that took on all the war sentiments feeling at the time and made folks dance through it.
It's a real important album if you know why it came to fruition and how that product shifted aforementioned Trent Reznor's mind set for the next incarnation of NIN when he broke free from all the record labels.

The rise and fall of Niggy Tardust - Saul William's album he produced?
Yo... this record hit the right people and changed how music was heard.

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Sounds like the dude from the church went on Mr Toad’s wild ride and found himself in bed with a voluptuous siren only to wake up to find himself in bed with a shrivelled up cactus… surprisingly satisfying.
