This Heat's sophomore album was monumental. "Deceit" shook the already artsy early-80s post-punk music scene by combining the rhythm-heavy drum styles of African tribal percussion (something explored by several visionaries of the time including Brian Eno and David Byrne on their acclaimed "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"), tape-looping, abstract noise, eerie vocals and a lot of well-placed empty space. When combined, an almost apocalyptic vibe flows throughout the album. "Deceit" starts off with "Sleep", a soothing track that has a "calm-before-the-storm" feel. The following tracks seem to degress into a state of calamity, even the albums most accessible track, "S.P.Q.R.", ends in a tumultuous crash of disjointed drumming. This album accomplished what post-punk (and punk prior) had been trying to do for years- tear down preconceived notions about what music actually is through experimentation and innovation- and will be a true classic for open-minded individuals for years to come.
