;If you're living in the world today...'
This is powerful stuff ! I bough Liquid Swords from a bootleg stall in Warsaw in 1995. Shortly after it came out. I was almost thirty. Brit Pop was at its peak but I'm glad it bought this. Thirty years on It seems somewhow to have more staying power than Sleeper, Gene and Cast. Though frankly every piece had its place in the karmic puzzle..
But Liquid Swords is taking me back to Warsaw in 1994 and 95. The Mean Streets of Marzalkowska and Nowy Swiat. It's thick with Staten Island and kung fu mythology. It speaks of chess, crime and philosophy. Life. Walks with the steady tread of an assassin, closing in on his chosen target. It's a lyrical and cinematic masterpiece.
