@NicanTlacaUniversity Actually, that's not true. AON were in no way ahead of the ball on trendily hating apartheid. If you didn't think that South Africa's political and racial set up was bad by *1986*, then you were never going to think that. Christ, we Kiwis were actively raging against the bastards en masse five years before that, and even this was shockingly late to the 'Oh wow, apartheid is wrong? Really? Guess we should stop selling them weapons and buying their fruit'' table.

Thay created sounds that you wish you could hear in everyday life.

Allright so what is making this song so metaphysical for us? I think it's still alive inside our minds. And as long as we don't forget it's revolutionarity for that long it'll stay alive for the next generations as well...
I remember hearing it for the first time in 1986 and, ignoring my landlord's wishes, turning it up as loud as I could just to feel the awesome lows and highs. Thanks for posting!!

This was a protest song against Apartheid (White Supremacist rule) in South Africa. AON was ahead of the curve by taking a stand before it was "cool" to do so by mainstream artists.
