Excellent Service

The fourth album by The (International) Noise Conspiracy is an appeal for humanity and action that captures both heart and mind. Produced by Rick Rubin in the same Sunset Sound Studio where the Doors created most of their masterpieces, this new album explodes in the middle of the most critical political period of postmodern history. "The Cross of My Calling" is the sound of a global society on the verge of apocalypse.

by Oliver Kube (29.01.2009) Their ex-label boss Rick Rubin (Metallica, Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers) also produced the fourth album of Garage Rock and Power Pop fronter / anti-capitalist Dennis Lyxzén and his boys. "The cross of my calling", recorded in legendary Sunset Sound Studio in Los Angeles (among others, The Doors had recorded their most important stuff there), is a well-done return to the powerful but extremely song-oriented style of their brilliant album "Survival sickness" (released in 2000) which was the international break-through for the Swedes. In contrast to that time, they just have a more mature, crystal sound now. Among the highlights of this opus: easy-going "Child of god" with its cool Vox Continental organ solo (a clear reverence for Jim Morrison & Co.), rough’n’rocky "Black september", and crisp and Funk-laden "I am the dynamite". For those who still mourn the good old Refused days, this output will seem to be too smooth and focussed, though.
