Released in 1994, Stacked Up remains the peak of British band Senser and one of the most original records in European crossover. The collective fuses rap, metal, dub, breakbeat and samples with rare daring, carried by the dual vocals of Heitham Al-Sayed and Kerstin Haigh. Tracks like Eject and The Key crack with startling political urgency and rhythmic intelligence.
Far from the cliches of the genre, the album imposes a dense, almost psychedelic aesthetic, where pacifist and anti-capitalist commitment runs through every track. Its wealth of arrangements and its modernity place it well above most of its contemporaries. An unjustly overlooked masterpiece, to be rediscovered without reservation.
