Not their most accessible but still great

Hopefully we will get more of Skidoo's catalog here. This album is heavily influenced by and reliant upon Eastern music, especially Gamelan 'orchestra' (a vast array of tuned cymbals), but also veers close the the Industrial Sound of Einstürzende Neubauten etc, especially in the live set from WOMAD. For more of the funk look for Seven Songs, for more rap and jazz look for the much later self-titled album.

An album of half studio, half live material (the latter recorded at the Womad Festival), The Culling Is Coming expands on 23 Skidoo’s early material but with more emphasis on free-form sound exploration instead of post-punk funk. The lack of a sturdy framework makes comprehension difficult, though the scattered percussion, tape music and screeching horns are intense throughout. – Keith Farley
