Stark / Human Waste Project
In: Camden Barfly @ The Falcon
Date: February 1998

Human Waste Project arrive and Aimee Echo looks superb, venting her anger
into the microphone with a large dollop of relish. Comparisons to Courtney/Tarrie/Gwen
may be close visually, but she stalks the stage with a raw cynicism more associated
with someone like Polly Harvey. The band tear through new single 'Powerstrip'
beating up Aimee's vocal line and shearing it of its nasty habit of sounding
like Alanis Morrissette. 'Electra' and 'One Night in Spain' are deceptively
intense songs that drift into Sneaker Pimps / Morcheeba territory, offering
intense new dimensions of a band whose blitzkreig sounds seems inevitably
to be destined for higher things.
