R O C - R O C (FLAC) Remastered torrent

R.O.C. - R.O.C. Remastered Version in FLAC

Formed in London in 1983, the electronic trio R.O.C. went largely unknown for over a decade as writer/programmer Patrick Nicholson (who formed the group alongside guitarist Fred Browning) focused on his work as tour promoter for British acts performing in Eastern Europe. Only with the 1993 arrival of Colorado-born vocalist Karen Sheridan did R.O.C. (once believed to be an acronym for Reincarnation of Christ) truly begin to take shape, issuing a series of five independent singles which led to their signing with the Setanta label. Releasing this stunning debut LP in early 1996

Ramastered and Re-released in 2014 Enjoy :)


ROC REVIEWS

VOX
To account for them as just 'weird' would be top overlook the fact that they've succeeded in touching aesthetic bases as diverse as Madonna, Ministry, Prince, Jon Spencer, Portishead, Sonic Youth, Plastikman and Black Grape, while making a personalised musical statement about 'the-times-we-live-in' that's actually listenable. It could be one of those Portishead-type albums that comes in from the left field and looms massive. 9/10

MELODY MAKER
I think I'm in love with them, whoever they are, because they know me so well. And you. They understand you, too. You've never met but they have read your mind. In the moments when you stop thinking, or when your thoughts pass beyond reason, in your red mist, your grisly loneliness or your sensual bliss, ROC are there, unseen, sequinning your skin with electrodes fed directly into their tape machine. ROC operate in regions where language holds no sway

NME
An album that changes shape and discovers new disguises at each turn, that lyrically flirts with God but shags the Devil on the side, an album that refuses to allow any single mood to settle for long

WIRE
"ROC" is a brave piece of work

MUSIC WEEK
Album of the week
A storming debut album by this west country outfit who are impossible to categorise. The extraordinarily diverse set veers from electronic ambience to slick pop tunes. An early candidate for album of the year
