National Front demo reimagined by Richard Watts.

"This piece kind of evolved from one thing into another. I've used samples of various voices from the original recording. The background noise is a slowed version of the original put through an oscillator and a few other effects. The drum sounds are also taken from the original with very little tweaking. When I listen to the original recording I get a sense of two distorted views of patriotism and I have tried the reflect that in the reimagined sound. I also find groups like the National Front to be a bit sinister so the high pitched sound and the repeated note reflects this. There are a few bits of swearing so you might want to give a warning to those of a sensitive nature."
