Digitally remastered reissue of TC Matics original 1982 album. TC Matic were a very controversial band from Belgium during the 80's. This second album of T.C. Matic is filled with interesting, intriguing and very impressive music. Factory funk, that's what they called it. Brutal city noises from a hard world somewhere in between A Certain Ratio and Simple Minds. It's probably their best album and it's better balanced than their impressive 1981 debut album. Never has a group from Belgium showed so much soul as T.C. Matic on this existential cry from the rhythmic jungle. T.C. Matic played the kind of rock'n'roll that was hard, violent and ultimately very impressive. They invented the European sexbeat and toured with the Simple Minds during the early 80's. After their demise their charismatic singer Arno pursued a succesful solo career.
