ROLLING STONES/UNDERCOVER

Descripción

With Afro-Cuban percussion and dub textures scattered throughout UNDERCOVER sounds like a soundtrack to a bloody Caribbean coup detat. The machine-gun rattle of Linn drums on Feel on Baby the viciously dubbed-out guitars of the title track and Jaggers reliance on sado- masochism as a central lyrical theme (Tie You Up and Pretty Beat Up being the most obvious examples) add to the notion that the Stones were reflecting a world gone wrong back upon its audience. But past its bleakness UNDERCOVER is among the last exciting bits of music the Stones ventured to make.
