Raw Sex, Pure Energy – Stop The War / Give Sheep A Chance
Raw Sex, Pure Energy was a one-off project by bassist George Oban (On-U Sound, Motion, Aswad), drummer Joe Blocker (Karma), and vocalist Neneh Cherry (stepdaughter of Don Cherry). Their lone single Stop the War / Give Sheep A Chance was released in 1982 on Island Records and features three cuts of absolutely killer oddball disco-dub. All three versions are great but it’s the “Give Sheep A Chance (Woolly Version)” that takes the prize with its reverse 808 drum machine groove and stripped-down dub approach. “Stop killing, stop shooting, stop burning, stop looting. Enough wool’s been sheared by the stupid and the weird.” Music for the times…
