Packed with samples, heavy beats, distorted guitars and the band's trademark irreverent humour, the album is one of the key releases from PWEI's late-1980s\/early-1990s period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record opens with \"The Incredible P.W.E.I. Vs. The Moral Majority\", before launching into the manic \"Dance Of The Mad Bastards\" and the driving \"88 Seconds... \u0026amp; Still Counting\". \"X Y \u0026amp; Zee\" is another standout, combining pounding rhythms, abrasive guitars and electronic textures in a way that perfectly captures the band's genre-blurring approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bizarrely titled \"Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina (Extra Time Mix)\" stretches out to over seven minutes, while \"1000x No!\" brings the first side to a suitably chaotic conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide two continues the assault with \"Psychosexual\", \"Axe Of Men\" and \"Another Man's Rhubarb\", followed by the brief \"Medicine Man Speak With Forked Tongue\". \"Nightmare At 20,000 FT\" and \"Very Metal Noise Pollution\" showcase the heavier side of the band's sound, before \"92°F (The 3rd Degree)\" delivers another extended blast of industrial dance-rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album closes with \"Lived In Splendour: Died In Chaos\" and \"The Beat That Refused To Die\", an appropriate finale for a record built around relentless rhythms, sampling and sonic experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePop Will Eat Itself emerged from the Stourbridge alternative scene and became closely associated with the sample-heavy, genre-colliding sound that would influence the industrial and alternative dance scenes of the early 1990s. Their willingness to combine punk attitude, hip-hop production techniques, electronic beats and rock guitars made them particularly distinctive within British alternative music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors of Pop Will Eat Itself, industrial rock, alternative dance, electronic rock, sample-heavy indie and early-1990s alternative music, \u003cem\u003eCure For Sanity\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential example of the band's inventive and deliberately chaotic approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Incredible P.W.E.I.
