21,014,840 | Domingo discovers that his wife, son, and infant were all killed in the chaos and collapses in sadness. The surviving members of the warehouse are driven back to their homes on American jeeps. Everyone stays with Aling Anna, as her extravagant home was one of the few preserved in the war. The next day, everyone feasts and reunites with friends and family. Domingo, too haunted by the ghosts of his dead mistress, family, and guerilla fighters, announces his departure. The novel ends with Alejandro describing his gratitude for survival and pride for being a Filipino. Alejandro Karangalan: thirteen-year-old son of | When the Elephants Dance |

Isabelle Karangalan: seventeen-year-old daughter of Carlito Karangalan. She is intelligent and often disagrees with her mother. Isabelle is assaulted in part two of the book. She begins developing a relationship with Feliciano near the end of the story. Domingo Matapang: leader of the guerilla movement against the Japanese. He is the illegitimate son of a wealthy senator, who is also a Japanese sympathizer. He is married to Lorna, a wealthy socialite, and has two sons, six-year-old Taba | When the Elephants Dance |
21,014,842 | and an infant. Domingo also has a mistress named Nina and views Bartoy, an orphaned boy in the guerilla movement, as his true son. Tess Uriza Holthe was born in San Francisco, California in 1966. She is the child of Filipino immigrants, her mother an elementary school librarian and father a maintenance worker for a sweater factory. Told to have a career in “something very practical,” Uriza Holthe graduated from Golden Gate University with a degree in accounting. It was not until she established a stable career and took a literary class that she pursued writing. After taking a writing | When the Elephants Dance |
21,014,843 | class for fun, Uriza Holthe began writing short stories that incorporated the myths she heard from her grandparents. Eventually, she framed it into her first novel, "When the Elephants Dance", and published it in 2002. As a child, Uriza Holthe frequently listened to her parents and grandparents tell stories about life in the Philippines during American and Japanese occupation. These stories were filled with supernatural elements and the harsh realities of war, which inspired her to eventually write "When the Elephants Dance" in 2002. The opening scene of the novel is based on an experience her father had when he | When the Elephants Dance |
21,014,844 | was thirteen years old and living in Paco, Philippines. Her father and his friends were chopping wood in an undesignated area when they were caught and tortured by Japanese soldiers. In 2007, Uriza Holthe published her second book, "Five-Forty-Five to Cannes". Tess Uriza Holthe currently lives in San Francisco, California and lives there with her husband, Jason, and two sons. Unity and loyalty play a major role in influencing the actions and behaviors of characters. There is disagreement among Filipinos in the book about the best way to survive during the war. Some follow the guerilla movement; others are Japanese | When the Elephants Dance |
21,014,845 | sympathizers; and the rest wait for the Americans. Alejandro told the cellar inhabitants that Domingo says “we must all stand together and fight the Japanese. We must not let them divide us against one another.” At the end of the book, Domingo tries to rally everyone to fight the soldiers in the warehouse, citing a love for their country and desire for freedom as incentive. There is also value in loyalty to your family and country from both the Japanese and Filipinos. In the beginning of the novel, Alejandro is captured and refuses to reveal the identity of Domingo and | When the Elephants Dance |
21,014,846 | the person who murdered a general. The solider releases Alejandro, saying that “This one has honor, he not like rest. He rather die than give his friend.” Domingo's constant internal struggle of choosing between keeping his family safe or fighting for the good of the country exemplifies the theme of loyalty as well. The downfall of innocence is personified throughout the novel, particularly through Isabelle. When she was trying to find her way home, Japanese soldiers capture and brutally rape her, thus taking away her virginity and innocence. Isabelle says “I have become detached from my own skin. I am | When the Elephants Dance |
21,014,847 | a virgin no more, I repeat to myself. People will know this when they see me. I look into their eyes, but there is nothing, no hope, no compassion, only hate and blackness. I see the face of war.” Because Isabelle was assaulted, she can no longer return to the person she was before. She was changed forever, just as the Philippines was after WWII broke out and destroyed much of the country. Rape and war alike dehumanize people. While on the march to Manila, Alejandro notices how people fall from exhaustion, but no one helps one another. Everyone just | When the Elephants Dance |
21,014,848 | keeps walking like zombies. When the Elephants Dance When the Elephants Dance is a historical fiction novel written by Tess Uriza Holthe and published in 2002. It is set in February, 1945 in the Philippines during the final week of the battle for control between the Americans and the Japanese during World War II. The story is divided into four parts, each told from a character's perspective and detailing events that occur in the moments leading up to the Japanese surrender. Within each part are multiple short stories that contain mythological elements and important themes of unity and loyalty and | When the Elephants Dance |

21,014,857 | Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty) Adityavarman (r. c. 643–645 CE) was a king of the Chalukya dynasty of Vatapi in southern India. He was a son of Pulakeshin II, who was defeated and probably killed when the Pallavas invaded and captured the Chalukya capital Vatapi. The immediate history of the dynasty after Pulakeshin's death is not clear, but inscriptions of Adityavarman and his son suggest that Adityavarman ruled a weakened Chalukya kingdom for a short period, before his younger brother Vikramaditya I defeated the Pallavas and restored the Chalukya power. Adityavarman was one of the sons of the Chalukya emperor Pulakeshin II. | Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty) |
21,014,858 | In 642–643 CE, the Pallavas, who were the southern neighbours of the Chalukyas, invaded and captured the Chalukya capital Vatapi. Pulakeshin was probably killed in this conflict. The history of the Chalukya dynasty over the next decade, when Pulakeshin's other son Vikramaditya I ascended the throne in c. 655, is not clear. It cannot be said with certainty if the Chalukya empire was divided among the various sons of Pulakeshin, or if his successor(s) ruled from other headquarter(s) while the Pallavas occupied Vatapi. Despite this uncertainty, Adityavarman's existence and his rule as the Chalukya king is attested by his Kurnool | Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty) |
21,014,859 | (Karnul) grant inscription, his son's Nelakunda grant inscription, Someshvara III's "Vikramankabhyudaya", and Sarvajnatma's "Samkshepa-Shariraka". The Kurnool inscription does not mention Adityavarman's order of birth among Pulakeshin's sons, and does not mention Vikramaditya. The 1009 CE Kantheru grant inscription of the later Chalukyas of Kalyani, who claimed descent from the Chalukyas of Badami, names Adityavarman as a son of Nedamari and a grandson of Pulakeshin II. However, this late account contains several inaccuracies, and cannot be considered as reliable. "Vikramankabhyudaya" of the 12th century king Someshvara III, whose dynasty claimed descent from the Chalukyas of Vatapi, states that Adityavarman succeeded his | Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty) |
21,014,860 | father Pulakeshin. According to the Kurnool and Nelakunda inscriptions, Adityavarman bore the regnal titles "Shri-prithvi-vallabha", "Maharajadhiraja", and "Parameshvara" ("Supreme Lord"). The Kurnool inscription boasts that he possessed the "supreme rule over the whole circuit of earth which had been overcome by the strength of his arm and prowess". The Kurnool grant inscription is dated to Adityavarman's first regnal year: historian D. P. Dikshit assumes that he may have ruled during c. 643–645 CE, spending most of his time trying to regain the former Chalukya territory from the Pallavas and other enemies. Historian D. C. Sircar theorized that Vikramaditya I and | Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty) |
21,014,861 | Adityavarman ruled different parts of the Pulakeshin's former empire simultaneously. Historian T. V. Mahalingam theorized that Adityavarman was simply a former name of Vikramaditya I. His theory is based on the following arguments: Historian D. P. Dikshit disputes this identification based on the following arguments: The Nerur inscription of Adityavarman's son Abhinavaditya gives both men the imperial title "Parameshvara", which suggests that Abhinavaditya succeeded his father as the Chalukya sovereign. The inscription is not dated in any regnal year or calendar era, and Abhinavaditya is not known from any other source. The subsequent Chalukya record presumably omit his name because | Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty) |
21,014,862 | he was not in direct line of succession of the subsequent rulers such as Vikramaditya I. Historian D. P. Diskhit assumes that he probably ruled during c. 645–647 CE, and lost his life while trying to restore the Chalukya power. Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty) Adityavarman (r. c. 643–645 CE) was a king of the Chalukya dynasty of Vatapi in southern India.

Soon after this, his health began to deteriorate due to a degenerative neurological condition. He suffered with the disease for eighteen months, before passing away at Glasnevin in Dublin in November 1919, at which point he held the rank of brevet Colonel and the temporary rank of brigadier general. | Henry Bond (cricketer) |

21,014,878 | Isaac Maliyamungu Isaac Maliyamungu, also known as Isaac Lugonzo, was a general of the Uganda Army (UA) who served as one of Idi Amin's most important officials and supporters during the Ugandan military dictatorship of 1971–79. Born in Zaire, Maliyamungu was one of the members of the 1971 coup that brought Amin to power, and was thereafter responsible for brutally suppressing dissidents throughout the country. Rising in the ranks, Maliyamungu amassed great power and earned a feared reputation. He also held important commands during the Uganda–Tanzania War, but had little success in combat against the Tanzania People's Defence Force. When | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,879 | the Tanzanians and their Ugandan allies overthrew Amin's government in 1979, Maliyamungu fled to Zaire, where he became a businessman. Born in Zaire, Maliyamungu was a Christian of Kakwa ethnicity and a cousin of Idi Amin. At some point, he migrated to Uganda, and got a job as gatekeeper at the Nyanza textile factory in Jinja. He joined the Uganda Army (UA) in 1967. By 1971, Maliyamungu was a corporal and served as pay clerk for the Uganda Air Force at Entebbe. He played a crucial role in Amin's coup against President Milton Obote, and it was later claimed that | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,880 | he had rammed an armoured personnel carrier into an important armoury in the capital Kampala during the coup, ensuring that the putschists had access to ample weaponry. Another putschist, Moses Galla, has disputed this version, however, and stated that he had been the driver of the APC. Maliyamungu's main task during the coup was to secure Entebbe airport. This he successfully did by driving a tank from the Malire Barracks to Entebbe. After the successful coup, Maliyamungu was one of the officers who were entrusted with defeating the remaining militant Obote loyalists and purging the Uganda Army of anti-Amin elements. | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,881 | For this purpose, he was granted "unlimited powers to execute anyone in the army", including superior officers. Alongside Colonel Ali, Colonel Musa, and Major Malera, Maliyamungu succeeded in defeating the armed resistance to the new regime, and proceeded to murder hundreds of political opponents. He later boasted of "single-handedly mastermind[ing]" the mass murder of civilians suspected of being opposed to Amin. Rapidly promoted, Maliyamungu was made lieutenant colonel, became a member of the Defence Council, General Staff Officer I Grade responsible for training and operations (army chief of staff), commander of the Ordinance Depot at Magamaga, and head of a | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,882 | special unit which was known for its extreme methods in suppressing suspected dissidents. Known as Idi Amin's "hit man", Maliyamungu was reportedly feared by his colleagues on the Defence Council due to his brutality, and by the rest of the army due to his great powers and close connection with President Amin. Maliyamungu was linked to the deaths of several prominent Ugandans during the rule of Amin. In 1972, he had Francis Walugembe, the former Mayor of Masaka, "cut into pieces in the [town's] market in full public view". He also chaired the show trial of Archbishop Janani Luwum and | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,883 | other religious leaders in 1977; Luwum as well as his colleagues were murdered shortly after the trial. According to Mustafa Adrisi (Vice President of Uganda at the time) and a Human rights commission, Maliyamungu was directly responsible for their deaths. Like many other high-ranking officials under Amin, Maliyamungu used his power to enrich himself. When Amin ordered the expulsion of Asians from Uganda, Maliyamungu was on a committee to oversee the distribution of their wealth, taking much for himself. Over time, Amin's brutal regime was increasingly destabilized by internal divisions and economic problems despite great repression by state authorities. One | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,884 | of Amin's policies that drew opposition even among his original followers was the great power he gave to Kakwa and Nubians, while leaving officials of other ethnicies underrepresented. As result, a group of officers led by Brigadier Charles Arube attempted to overthrow Amin and kill his Nubian/Kakwa followers, including Maliyamungu. In the end, Arube's plot failed. Maliyamungu was also regarded as "prime target" for assassination by Ugandan exiles, as he controlled most tank forces of the Uganda Army. Overall, the Ugandan government was in a precarious state by 1978, so that the authorities took ever more drastic actions to remain | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,885 | in power. For example, Maliyamungu (by then promoted to brigadier) declared in a 1978 speech to 10,000 civilians that he would use tanks and bulldozers to destroy any area that was opposed to the government, proving to everyone that the regime "is hotter than a heated iron bar and not afraid to act". Following the Uganda–Tanzania War's outbreak and the Ugandan invasion of Tanzania in late 1978, Maliyamungu visited the occupied Kagera Salient region with his girlfriend. He was reportedly shocked upon witnessing how much destruction the Ugandan soldiers had cause. Weeping, he said that this "could not have been | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,886 | the work of the Uganda Army he knew". Soon after, the war turned against Uganda, as the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) launched a large-scale counter-offensive. Maliyamungu was in command of the Ugandan garrison at Masaka, which was one of the most important towns in southern Uganda. Though thousands strong, the Ugandan forces at Masaka were wrought by indiscipline and internal divisions. With the exception of a number of probes against Tanzanian positions around the town, which Maliyamungu ordered on 23 February, the defense of Masaka was ineffective. The TPDF managed to occupy it almost without resistance on 24 February, | Isaac Maliyamungu |
21,014,887 | while the Ugandans fled north. With Masaka under Tanzanian control, Kampala was threatened, prompting President Amin to order a counter-attack and put Maliyamungu in charge of the operation. In a battle at Bukulula north of Masaka, Maliyamungu managed to defeat the Tanzanian forces who had grown overconfident due to their successes up to that point. This marked the only serious defeat of the TPDF in the entire war. In contrast, Maliyamungu's next engagement, the Battle of Lukaya, was a complete defeat for the Uganda Army.

When Amin's regime finally collapsed and Kampala fell to the Tanzanians, Maliyamungu fled across the border to Zaire. He took a substantial amount of his wealth with him, and subsequently worked as businessman. Maliyamungu was multilingual, and could speak Kakwa, Kiswahili, English, Lusoga, Luganda, Runyoro, Luo, as well as other languages. He had a son named Samson.

The Ensbury Park Greyhound Company was registered in September 1927 with a capital of £10,000 and greyhound racing started on 7 January 1928 but the National Hunt stated that the greyhounds had to stop or they would withdraw permission for horse racing.

21,014,898 | Head On (Super Collider album) Head On is the debut album by English-based electronic duo Super_Collider, consisting of producers Christian Vogel and Jamie Lidell. It was released in May 1999 by Loaded Records. The collaboration emerged in 1998 when the two producers began sharing the same studio in Brighton and soon began creating music together. Their initial work together produced the songs "Under My Nose" and "Darn (Cold Way O' Lovin')", the latter of which was a successful single. Nonetheless, the duo felt that those songs were too orthodox and wanted to work in a more innovative style for their | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,899 | debut album. They co-produced the album together, but the production process took a prolonged amount of time due to the large amount of editing work undertaken. Taking influence from funk music, in particular the music of Sly Stone, "Head On" is an experimental techno record that combines Vogel's abstract production with the funk influences and Lidell's soulful but effects-heavy singing. Upon release, the album received critical acclaim, with journalists highlighting its distinctive sound. "It Won't Be Long" and "Take Me Home" were issued together as a double A-side single. Electronic musician Jamie Lidell, born in Cambridge, moved to London in | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,900 | the mid-1990s and began hosting techno parties with Subhead members Jason Leach and Phil Wells, whom he had met and befriended in the city. While jamming with Leach and Wells, Lidell was introduced to the music of Chilean producer Christian Vogel, a recognised name in the minimal techno scene. In the late 1990s, Lidell left London for Brighton, where Vogel was based, in hopes of finding him. The two met by chance on Lidell's first day in the town, and discovered they admired one another's music. In 1998, Lidell and Vogel started sharing the same studio, and began making music | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,901 | together. Later in the year, they formalised their partnership as Super_Collider. During the period, Lidell jammed on stage with Balzac, where he began developing his skills as a soul singer. While in the studio working on what later became "Under My Nose", Lidell initially screamed the song's vocals. In Lidell's recollection, his girlfriend, who was with him in the studio, advised to him that he "just relax a little bit here" and soften his vocal style. Lidell took her advice and began "just scatting along really and just responding to the track." While cutting that up and incorporating a groove, | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,902 | Vogel heard the work-in-progress and told him "you've got a track here." After editing work, it became the first Super_Collider song. Another work-in-progress, "Darn (Cold Way O' Lovin)", remained an instrumental until Lidell added vocals one night which he had recorded a year earlier for a live show in Vogel's Brighton club Defunkt. Pairing Lidell's vocal with a unique funk style at a house tempo, "Darn (Cold Way O' Lovin') was released in 1998 as the first Super_Collider single alongside a remix by DJ Harvey, and was lauded by both critics and DJs. Though pleased with the positive reception, Vogel | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,903 | expressed concerns in a 1999 interview that audiences would not appreciate the duo's following material, which they planned to be "nothing like that single" and instead "perhaps more progressive and innovative and challenging for the way we work," commenting that the single was "quite orthodox" in comparison. He nonetheless explained that "['Darn'] will always have a special place in my heart. I heard some people say some incredible things to me personally and I got some compliments that I'll remember forever." Super_Collider signed with Loaded Records, known for releasing more commercial-style music, largely due to their offices being geographically close. | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,904 | They played the label "Darn", unsure which labels would enjoy it due to its unusual style, but Loaded enjoyed the single and made them an offer to record an album. Lidell recalled that the writing process for "Head On" was a "really interesting and really quite painful process." The only two songs the duo had already created were "Under My Nose" and "Darn", which they considered "really commercial tracks" made for "a bit of fun", but they chose to pursue other ideas instead of "continue in making a kind of variant on house music, which 'Darn' fits into that kind | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,905 | of category loosely." He recalled: "[W]e decided that we wanted to explore things because we wouldn't be happy to do an like an album's worth of 'Darn's. As you can imagine, given that you're signed on the basis of a couple of tracks, there's a slight risk to sign someone having only that and not having heard their potential range of sounds. At the time, I don't think the record company understood the album was going to be so diverse, but over time it proved to be something which became more interesting and more rewarding for us all, the record | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,906 | company and me and Cris as creators." Vogel and Lidell co-produced the album together; writer John Bush believes the album to have been "accomplished only after weeks at the computer." The duo worked collaboratively on the album. Contrary to belief that Lidell contributed only vocals to Vogel's backing tracks, the latter said their collaboration was "a lot more complicated than that." Vogel felt that, while working on "Head On", Lidell introduced him to "lots of the old ways that I've missed out on. But similarly, we absolutely adore brand spanking new exciting hard music." Both producers played a lot of | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,907 | older music during production, Vogell said that, for him, this was because he was "sick of my record collection full of techno" and wanted to listen back to records he "could actually get into and pay attention to and listen to properly." The duo chose to fuse modern electronic sounds with influences of funk music, in particular Sly Stone, Lidell's biggest musical inspiration. "In a Desert Island sort of test," he said, "I'd always take Sly Stone above any electronic music. He's one of my favourite artists, just because he seemed to have almost the perfect balance between fun-he even | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,908 | wrote a song called 'Fun'-and music and community and so much shit there in the mix." Though not comparing their music to Stone, Lidell said his influence was "so strong" and aimed to create melodies "but without the trappings of having to make traditional songs." He explained in an interview that "Head On" took long to create due to the "sheer amount of editing which needs to be done because of how many ideas end up being generated from two heads. Under the influence of a bit of cannabis and a good couple of record collections, you get a serious | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,909 | list of potential recipes." According to "The Wire", the album was largely a digital construction, described by Lidell as a "meticulous soundworld." Most of the duo's song structures were achieved by excessive, painstaking "software tweaks and hard disk editing." "Head On" is an album of experimental, "skewed dance-pop" material, and contains ten songs which mash up "P-funk and Prince-styled vocals into an electro-shedder similar to the one employed by Autechre and Oval," according to AllMusic's John Bush. While central to the album's characteristic sound are unusual funk grooves, melodies and Lidell's Sly Stone and Prince-inspired soulful vocals, the record's unique | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,910 | techno production, combining surreal sound textures, fitful drum programming and 'murky' sub-bass tones, result in what critic M. Tye Comer described as "a mutant strain of music that embraces P-Funk, house and techno without subscribing to the rules of any pre-existing genre." Simon Reynolds felt that Vogel's "decidedly mangled and alienated" production, as had been seen on his avant-garde techno solo releases, was present on "Head On" but nonetheless unusually incorporated synth bass and keyboard licks reminiscent of the SOS Band, D Train and the Gap Band, in keeping in with the album's funk sound. He described Lidell's vocals as | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,911 | "a kind of cyborg hypersoul–grotesquely mannered, FX-warped yet queerly compelling." "Darn (Cold Way O' Lovin)" features soulful vocals largely repeating the title while low-end "tech-basslines" weave in and out of the track and switching between left and right channels. According to Bush: "The message is clear: vocals are just another sound-source to be tweaked and spun off in all directions." Described by Reynolds as "robo-Cameo" due to its synthesised slap bass sounds, "Take Me Home" is a "hip-thrusting soul" song with similarites to Prince. It was described by the "NME" as, "in fact, in a small but significant way, unlike | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,912 | anything else, ever." "It Won't Be Long" is a drowsy P-funk song, while "Alchemical Confession" is characterised by its heavy usage of "acrid guitar squalls." With artwork by Red Design and incorporating photography from Ben Cowlin, the album cover features a composite conflation of Vogel and Lidell's heads, pasted from "scores of digital flakes." Their bleary eyes and haggard expression was described by Bush as attesting to the album's physically straining production. "Head On" was initially released by Loaded Records on 24 May 1999 in the United Kingdom, before being made available on 9 November 1999 in the United States | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,913 | on Skint Records, a big beat label for whom Loaded is a subsidiary. A limited-edition edition version was also released in Britain, adding a bonus disc containing four extra tracks. "It Won't Be Long" and "Take Me Home" were released as a double A-side after having become popular in British clubs. During the promotion of the album, Vogel expressed annoyance at Loaded insisting that all the duo's released contain remixes, and often found they did not know about or care for half the remixers the label suggested. Upon release, "Head On" was received wide acclaim from music critics. Simon Reynolds | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,914 | of "Spin" felt the album picks up "where Zapp's 'More Bounce to the Ounce' and George Clinton's 'Atomic Dog' left off–the era of dance music when trad musicianship crashed head-on into futurism." He praised the album's inventive sound and concluded that, unlike other bands, Super_Collider proved they "have a perfect grasp on funk's uncanny merger of supple and stiff, loose and tight." He further described the song "Alchemical Confession" as "the kind of black rock I always hoped Tackhead or Material would deliver." In a positive review, M. Tye Comer of "CMJ New Music Monthly" described "Head On" as "[a] | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,915 | very strange and titillating release," writing that it "lives up to every connotation of the word 'experimental'." They recommended the tracks "Darn", "Take Me Home", "Cut the Phone" and "Pay It Away". John Bush of AllMusic named "Head On" an "Album Pick", praising how the "positively beefy" production enhances the album's "delightfully skewed dance-pop." He commented: "True, there's a lot to digest -- and perhaps a bit too much production in several spots -- for a collection of 'pop' songs, but fans of the Skam label and the "Mask" series will eat this stuff up. Best of all, now there's | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,916 | an outside chance that a Vogel production will get played on the world's less intellectual dancefloors." In a review of the "It Won't Be Long" and "Take Me Home" double A-side, Piers Martin of the "NME" described "Head On" as an "exceptional" album, and described Super_Collider as "[u]narguably one of the most inventive and mind-bendingly exciting groups currently functioning in pop." In "Techno: The Rough Guide", writer Tim Barr described the album as "House-wrecking." "Les Inrockuptibles" ranked the album at 45 in their year-end list of the best albums of 1999, while "The Wire" named it one of the year's | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,917 | 10 best electronica albums. In 2014, "Fact" magazine included "It Won't Be long" at number 66 in their list of "The 100 greatest IDM tracks", and commented on the album's continued appeal: "So very, very far ahead of its time, Super_Collider’s first album "Head On" amazing arrived on a major label thanks to Skint’s deal with Sony. Cristian Vogel and Jamie Lidell hit a rich seam of dark cyborg funk, that wraps itself around you like the hungry metal in "". For those who only know Jamie Lidell as the slick lounge lizard soulman he later became, his singing and | Head On (Super Collider album) |
21,014,918 | production work on this should be a revelation." In a 2005 interview with "Pitchfork", Lidell reflected upon "Head On" fondly as "innovative" and "mindblowing", described it as "a big wake-up call to a lot of people. We were really trying to rip people's heads off, and we didn't have much technology to do that." "The Wire" magazine felt that Lidell's mid-2000s soul music could be rooted back to "Head On".
