Politico dub-collage practitioners Guerilla Welfare came from Edmonton, Alberta,
coincidentally the birthplace of prophetic media sage Marshall McLuhan. Armed with
vanguard ideas taken from Steve Reich, Fela Kuti, Robert Fripp and Material, the duo
of Curtis Ruptash and Brian Schultze adopted the ôstudio as instrumentö mindset of
Eno and King Tubby creating complex textural and polyrhythmic sonic insurgencies.
They overdubbed drum computers, guitar, bass, noise-makers, mallet percussion,
sitars, often accompanied by sampled vocals and found sound taken from TV. Their
pan-global, multi-media palette supported zeitgeist commentary ù often, with a
healthy dose of gallows humour ù on gender, power structures, and sexual and
geopolitical tensions in the late 80s. Their DIY bunker studio experimentations align
them with genre defying dub-infused outfits like African Head Charge, Dome,
Lifetones, Naffi, Woo, Negativland and The Residents. "The Nature of Human Nature"
captures Guerilla WelfareÆs most formidable output, compiling tracks selected from
their entire discography (two LPs and a cassette collaboration with poet Mary Howes),
all originally self-released from 1986 to 1991. Remastered from the original tapes.
