Corporate Moronic seems to pick up in places where Yangtze Cod and Chips left off, you remember, Yangtze Cod and Chips was that small number put out by Downes a while back, a protest in song against New Zealand's Free Trade Agreement with China. This album though is partly a musical attack on the corporate world all that is bureaucratic, high interest rates, distrust of politicians and all the strange politics that affects Everyman, where the satire is hidden in the carefully worded vocals, therefore the title Corporate Moronic. But in a wider view this album is a critique of society. Downes seems to have always liked the role of musicians, like the other arts, as the conscience of society. Therefore this album is a reflection upon society and what it has become.
The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.
