God! What an interesting album. A1 track starts it off, with about 8 bars of very sample-worthy material for the "hip hop" producers. Very conscience lyrical content, with an interpretation of A4 (forgive us this day) stating "lord forgive us this day our daily bread, so others more needy may eat." A very conscious interpretation of what it means to be a "christian" and a perspective we must adapt to in the future, if we want to make it off this planet.... Although released in 1981, this LP sounds a lot more like 1971 to me (in terms of lyrics and songwriting).Although its music / arrangements are not something I can speak on with authority, the lyrics of rural-rocking "Acceptable Risks" gives an in depth 1st hand witness based account / analysis of a Yucca Flats, NV nuclear test gone wrong. For those unaware Yucca Flats is the site of nearly 800 (publicly disclosed at least) nuclear bomb detonations by the USA, known as the "the most irradiated, nuclear-blasted spot on the face of the earth". (In March 2009, TIME magazine identified the Dec 18, 1970 Yucca Flat Baneberry Test, where 86 workers were exposed to radiation, as one of the world's worst nuclear disasters after many years of denial by the US gov't.)A quick edit resolves the coincidental fact, the Baneberry Test took place 12/18/70 in the early morning hour of 1 AM CST, exactly 41 years after I write the review) ☻So when I looked at the black and white cover image of the LP (Kirlian photography) after I listened to these lyrics, I had to wonder if this was an image of someone exposed to the radiation / EMP induced bone cancer many of the soldiers stationed there have reported, and if so, was this an allegorical reference to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I hope this LP moves out of the "obscure" and into the "rare" because it really stands out!
