Music Review: Various Performers - The T4 Project

In some ways The T4 Project is quintessential punk, in the way that it was put together and in the content that it offers. Punk was always marked by a do it yourself ethos that allowed performers to remain independent of record companies. Part of it was because labels initially didn't want anything to do with punks. So, if they wanted to record and distribute their music they had to do it on their own, but it was also a way of ensuring that they had complete independence when it came to what they produced. Nobody was going to tell them what they could play, how they should dress, or what they should say.

Punk was in of itself an antidote for the virus of imposed conformity and unquestioning obedience and with The T4 Project those involved have created a vehicle to bring that philosophy to life. For those of you who've forgotten how potent punk can be when played well and with passion, or those who never knew, than this disc is for you. Aside from all the philosophy and politics, it's still, first and foremost, about the music - and this a disc of great music.

As an added bonus if you slip The T4 Project into your CD ROM drive on your computer you get a video set to music from the disc showing scenes from its making. The T4 Project can be pre-ordered now and goes on sale May 13th 2008.
