He makes polemical noise-funk with a hip-hop reggae dub feel and has recorded for On-U Sound Records and Mute Records.
Stewart started out in music with The Pop Group a band whose titles (such as "For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?") demonstrated political conviction, disrespect for copyright, and willingness to collaborate that laid the foundations for his later work.
The Pop Group split in 1981, with Stewart and two other members heading off to London to hook up with the emerging On-U Sound "conspiracy of outsiders" as part of the New Age Steppers. On-U became a focal point an absurdly diverse set of networks - punks, reggae players from both the UK and Jamaica and free-jazzers.
Stewart subsequently made several albums under his own name as well as collaborating with artists such as Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails), Massive Attack, Tricky to name just a few. In 2005, he released a collection of his best work on Soul Jazz Records titled 'Kiss the Future'.
In later years, he lived in Berlin and continued touring.

WOW I REMEMBER LOVING THIS BUT I ONLY REALLY UNDERSTAND IT NOW . PROPHETIC!

The thing is that he obviously knew it was already happening back then, so it's not even prophetic! We were just in the dark while he was already somehow aware of these secret criminal activities we're just starting to hear about now. How is that, I wonder?

This is a very informative song. I had no idea that beneath the city streets, there's a whole new class of weapons that includes proton beams and laser beams, radio waves and microwaves, heavy ions and alpha waves. That doesn't sound like good news for anyone above on the city streets, does it?
