Bushido - Deliverance

There’s not much on the interweb to help with a decent review of this album from UK synth / experimental band Bushido. Deliverance is a bit of a mess, but it also has some really powerful moments. The project is the brainchild of Gary Levermore, who ran Third Mind Records (Beautiful Pea Green Boat, Front Line Assembly, In the Nursery, Heavenly Bodies etc) for a while. Deliverance has a very fantasy-like sound, definitely not a cheap minimal synth album for 1985, lots of digital goodness and what must have been a pricey drum machine. If the cover was a point and click adventure game Lament would be its main theme. Incidentally other Third Mind artists have guested on Deliverance, including Chryss (Julia Niblock) from Attrition and Glenn Wallis of Whitehouse / Konstruktivist.
