Ramleh - Hole in the Heart (1987/2009) ALBUM REVIEW

(This video covers both the original 1987 cassette version and the 2009 expanded reissue version of Hole in the Heart.) Ramleh was born out of the early "power electronics" scene that began in England in the early 1980s, a genre intended to increase the abrasiveness and experimentation of industrial music. Their earliest releases, alongside those from many of their contemporaries, drew controversy for alleged glorification of taboo subjects and imagery, which partially motivated Ramleh bandleader Gary Mundy to hang up the project in 1984. Mundy revived Ramleh as a solo project in 1986, devoid of shocking imagery, and began recording his most unique and emotive album. Sometime in 1987, Mundy released Hole in the Heart through his own Broken Flag label on cassette, thus bringing Ramleh back to life and cementing the act as one of the most evocative and unique groups of power electronics' wide-reaching umbrella of sound, while also marking the end of the original "power electronics" era of Ramleh, before a shift towards noise rock and psych rock. Today, we're going to take a look at it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Any copyrighted material used in this review belongs to its owners.
