The group were always obsessively and uncompromisingly focused on controlling their work - they ran their own record label, recording studio, tour organisation and music venue (the legendary 'Ambulance Station') - they refused to integrate into the commercial music racket turning down publishing deals from major labels - stubbornly opting for total independence. Bourbonese Qualk were also known for their political activism which was formed in the crucible of the 1980s Britain. They saw their music as a revolutionary cultural force - a belief that radical musical forms must be part of positive social change. Despite this position, the group avoided dogma, cliché and propaganda, preferring to let their audience come to their own conclusions - their work was often ambiguous and directly critical of cynical power-politics of any colour - often irritating members of the traditional 'organised left'. In 1984 Bourbonese Qualk occupied a large empty building on the Old Kent Road in South London which they turned into a base for their activities and a co-operative for artists, musicians and writers as well as a centre for radical political activism - specifically as a co-ordinating centre for the 'Stop The City' anti-capitalist riots of 1984-1986. They never recorded in a 'proper' studio (not that they could ever afford to), choosing instead to work with their own extremely basic equipment If Bourbonese Qualk have a legacy, it is that 'culture' should be reclaimed, re-defined and owned by the people, wherever they are, however small and not by the state or the market and that 'culture' is a vital vehicle for debate and radical change. My Government Is My Soul was the band's sixth album, originally released by Fünfundvierzig in Germany in 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eGuilt\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLet It Go\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTon Ton Macoute\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eForget The Past \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eKnow Your Enemy \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eÉist\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eKnock\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMurmur \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eKeep Pushing\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTrapped \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDecide \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Last Thing We Have Is Choice \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDeviance Amplification Spiral \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eVolve\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThis Will Fall \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAccording To Plan \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLet It Go (Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThis Will Fall (Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Klanggalerie\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Industrial\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50:05 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 04\/03\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5052571227428\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"KLANG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383052386553,"sku":"GG526","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/GG526.jpg?v=1770129207","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/bourbonese-qualk-my-government-is-my-soul-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
