In no particular order some of my favourite music moments. No 18 World Destruction by Time Zone.
One of the first rock/rap crossover, 1984’s World Destruction was the second single by Time Zone, a side project of rap pioneer Afrika Bambaataa.
tt featured a collaboration with bassist producer and – showing a keen eye for the zeitgeist – PiL and ex-Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon.
Lydon’s voice lends the track and otherworldly quality and his trademark vitriol adds raw power to the song’s anti-war message.
“The human race is becoming a disgrace!!” Too right Johnny! – still sounds as if was recorded yesterday.
