Earlier this year, aging post-punk pioneers Gang of Four put out a competent album of all new studio material, Content , and followed it up with two videos ("Never Pay For The Farm" and "It Was Never Gonna Turn Out Too Good") that featured simple footage of the band playing live.

With Gang of Four 's latest music video for "Who Am I?", the UK-based post-punk outfit abandoned the straight-forward performance pieces of past clips for "Never Pay For the Farm" and "It Was Never Gonna Turn Out Too Good" and went with something far more artsy.

When Jon King sarcastically asked, "What to do for pleasure?" on Gang of Four's epochal 1979 debut, Entertainment! , little did he realize that, 32 years later, he'd be answering his own question with: buy an Xbox 360 Kinect !

Although their prime movers, Jon King (singer/conscience) and Andy King (groovy guitarist), have reunited before, Content is their best record since the late-Seventies, packed with savagely danceable riffs and rousingly incisive lyrics about consumerism, domestic fragmentation and political resistance.

"We started writing a kind of joke description of someone who was quite greedy and it quickly turned into something else: Both a study of how gluttony and avarice look pretty ugly when they're on steroids, and how these things are at the heart of how our economic system work.

I just saw on the news 10 minutes ago a record number of foreclosures in the States this month. We had the 'greed is good' decades but when pay-back time hit no one had the dough. Oh yeah, me and [vocalist] Jon [King] always on the money!"
