UPC: MNQ 155 Mannequin Records proudly reissues "My Government Is My Soul", a searing 1989 statement from Bourbonese Qualk, one of the UK's most defiant and politically engaged experimental acts. Originally released on the group's own label, this LP captures the uncompromising spirit of a band deeply embedded in the resistance movements of 1980s Britain. Recorded during a turbulent period of social unrest, "My Government Is My Soul" stands as a fierce response to authoritarianism, surveillance, and the neoliberal decay that defined the Thatcher era. Bourbonese Qualk fused industrial rhythms, minimal synth, distorted tape loops, and spoken-word polemics into a sound that was both confrontational and deeply physical--a weaponized form of music rooted in activism and direct action. Widely regarded by fans as one of the band's strongest works, "My Government Is My Soul" has earned a near-mythic status in underground circles. Fans have praised the album's stylistic breadth--"sometimes it kisses the hem of rock, at others it bows towards the likes of Steve Reich & Philip Glass". This reissue, fully remastered by Rude 66, reintroduces a critical work of post-industrial dissent to a new generation. Still as urgent and unflinching as ever, the album resonates with today's climate of mass disinformation and systemic control. It is a timely reminder that sound can still be a form of resistance.
