Record Cover of the Day: Erotic Terrorism

It’s not often you see the words ‘Erotic’ and ‘Terrorism’ side by side, but here they are, the title of Fun-Da-Mental’s third album (1998). There was a brief period, somewhere in the late 90s when I was quite into Fun-Da-Mental, a British (yet anti-western), radical, Islamic hip-hop, dance and world music band. Sometimes the mix works; sometimes not. They’re usually pretty controversial. I like the title and the cover of Erotic Terrorism, a parody of a Bollywood film poster. Perhaps not even parody – their music does also contain elements of sounds from Indian films.
