| | LiP Music Reviews: Fabrication Defect |
 | | With cover art that recalls the classic Funkadelic covers drawn by Pedro Bell, Fabrication Defect picks up the ball where George Clinton dropped it in the '80s in battling the "placebo syndrome," a condition where people become robotic, and decidedly unfunky due to bad music and worse politics. |
 | | Beck paid tribute to the movement with his recent single, "Tropicalia." And in an ultimate '90s-style validation, artists such as Tortoise, Stereolab, the High Llamas and Sean Lennon have remixed songs from his new album, Com Defecto De Fabricacáo (Fabrication Defect) to be released in January, 1999. |
 | | Zé graciously encourages their "defects" by creating art from consumer and sonic refuse like toys, cars, whistles, commercial jingles, and homemade instruments made of household appliances. |
