Globo, one of the 1990s’ great electronic music outliers, return with a 'Redux' version of their sample-heavy 1995 debut album, "Pro War", released on vinyl for the very first time. The limited edition LP comes as a 3-colour splatter vinyl via their long-time label Hydrogen Dukebox Records
More than three decades later "Pro War" is a work of supreme irony and a dark inversion of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s famous slogan, “War Is Over! If You Want It”. Written against the backdrop of Rwanda, the Gulf War and Bosnia, the album explored not only the machinery of conflict itself, but humanity’s recurring attraction to it.
Globo said: “We made Pro War in 1995 and we were reacting to what we saw around us. Everything has changed since then, and yet it’s all somehow the same.” - Absurdist and intentionally darkly comic, Pro War now feels as relevant as ever: a disorientating broadcast from an age of propaganda, conflict and media overload that never really ended.
The Norwich-London force that is Globo emerged in the mid-1990s as one of the UK underground’s most singular electronic acts, fusing sample collage, transmitted media, breakbeats, found sound, cinematic melody and rhythmic vocal montages into a sound that felt both human and eerily technological. While often mentioned alongside contemporaries such as Underworld, Globo occupied a far more fractured, satirical and confrontational space. Decades on, their work endures as an eerily accurate blueprint for the world that followed.
