The Pope Review by Curtis Yarvin >>> a cDc publication.......1994 <<< -cDc- CULT OF THE DEAD COW -cDc- ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ |____digital_media____digital_culture____digital_media____digital_culture____| Contents: Sixtus VI: Pope 4 tha Nineties Pope Joan: Xcommunication Def Urban: Humanae Vitae Sixtus VI: Pope 4 tha Nineties Black Bull Press 1 6730 In Terra Libera 2 4200 Ecclesia Mundi 3 8120 Semper Vitae 4 2210 Non Fidelis 5 10330 Animalia 6 8900 Salvia Divinorum 7 2890 Non Fidelis (Il Purgatorio Remix) 8 5340 Ecclesia Mundi (Papal States Remix) Comments: Hot young Pope Sixtus VI is already cutting sharp waves in British chapels, and his second anthology "Pope 4 tha Nineties" shows us why. Sixtus VI's Latin is fluent, fluid, and melodic, and his rhetoric harder than anyone's since John XXIII. "In Terra Libera" rips straight off with a hard-hitting, preachable case for freedom of worship; "Semper Vitae" is a smooth ambient piece on medical technology; and "Salvia Divinorum" rocks the house down on false prophets. Topping the volume off are the hardcover-bonus remixes of "Non Fidelis" and "Ecclesia Mundi," by German ultramontanist firebreather Luther Zero, which by themselves would make "Pope 4 tha Nineties" well worth the import price. Summary: 10/10. Sixtus VI brings the Bull home again. Pope Joan: Xcommunication Horns of the Cow 1 3440 Ex Communica (Zwingli Is Dead Mix) 2 11890 Ex Communica (Ras Tafari Mix) 3 1300 Ex Communica (Fra Sahagun Mix) Comments: This is Pope Joan's first release and if it's anything to go by we have a lot to look forward to. The angry young Dutchwoman takes a choppy feminist rant and mixes it in with a healthy dose of expertly-applied samples, everything from medieval Innocent IV bulls to 1930s Jamaican theology and period reports on Aztec myth. The mix is a little grungy in places but flows thick and fast, and if you don't like one sentence you'll probably find something in the next. And the theology just plain burns. This is one that'll get the crowd lighting torches. Summary: 9/10. If it weren't for Horns of the Cow's lousy illumination and layout this'd be a 10 too. Imported and hard to find - but grab it if you see it. Def Urban: Humanae Vitae Wurds of Wisdum 1 2790 Humanae Vitae (Trojan Reix) 3 7830 Humanae Vitae (Granada Remix) 4 18060 Humanae Vitae (Treaty of Tordesillas Remix) Comments: Even at $4.99 domestic this Def Urban maxi-single is the absolute worst waste of paper I've ever seen in my life. If you've ever seen John XXIII's original "Humanae Vitae," or think you might, in this life or any other, DON'T under any circumstances come within spitting distance of Def Urban's version. Even with a million two-bit "Humanae Vitae" remixes floating around, Def Urban stands out. Abominable. Sludgy, blurry printing, execrable Latin, and lots and lots of stupid condom jokes. Cardinal Ximenez himself wouldn't have stooped to more than the first two thousand words of the dragged-out awful pseudo-tribal "Treaty of Tordesillas Remix." Def Urban are neo-Inquisition at its worst. Summary: 1/10. The auto-da-fe's too good for them. _______ __________________________________________________________________ / _ _ \|Demon Roach Undrgrnd.806/794-4362|Kingdom of Shit.....806/794-1842| ((___)) |Cool Beans!..........415/648-PUNK|Polka AE {PW:KILL}..806/794-4362| [ x x ] |Metalland Southwest..713/579-2276|ATDT East...........617/350-STIF| \ / |The Works............617/861-8976|Ripco ][............312/528-5020| (' ') | Save yourself!
