Kiss My Sweet Apocalypse

Kiss My Sweet Apocalypse is the album from Julian Cope's brand new free action group Black Sheep. Black Sheep music is of the moment, beautiful as a princess one minute, hobbling like a smitten ditch-dweller the next. Songs are long and strung out, combining chanting and street protest with ambient meditations on the Culture Heroes of the Past. Eulogies to such revolutionaries as Che Guevara, Ulrike Meinhof, and one of the Cope's long time obsessions Leila Khaled, are offset by chanting and massed drum works outs and tripped out ambulant pieces such as the near-half hour long title track.
