Tracking With Close-Ups (CD)
A very sombre lot, Sweet Slag cook their brand of progressive hard-rock with more spices than many. Almost all tracks (invariably written by Kerensky) are depressed, bitter and subtly menacing. Although it's hard to point out any highlights, the overall atmosphere of despair and waste is so strong that it permeates all rock conventions, turning this album into a document of some of the darker conditions of the human soul. There are also quite a few excellent and very discordant guitar solos to be found here. It may take some time to explore all the hidden and suppressed fear in this music, but it is rewarding to do so.
