People In Control ‎– When It's War [7''] (1981, Crammed Discs)

 

It's very lo-fi, but it has a fabulous groove to the EP. It certainly has that sort of absurdly orchestrated yet function feel of Family Fodder. It has the male and female vocalist interchanges and that sort of dub influenced post-punk vibe and tribal style drumming as well. Charles Bullen from This Heat was involved in this project as well which explains the slightly more experimental touches this has. "When It's War" is sort of haunting. "Failing To Achieve" is also a good track, but perhaps not quite as memorable as the title track. Their finishing move, "Pale Fail" echoes "When It's War" only it's mainly instrumental, not really a song actually. All in all though what little material exists from this group is pretty wicked, and if you are a fan of either Heat or Fodder then this should be an absolute must. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]
