France imposed emergency measures in 38 suburbs, towns and cities including Paris but in a 14th night of civil unrest, youths clashed with police in a south-western city and four cars were burned.

It was that audience that took Unrest up as a flagship, making them loom as large as Pavement, Hal Hartley, and David Foster Wallace in the mid-90s college-sophomore canon.
If the story of this group is that of frontman Mark Robinson gradually admitting he might rather be an English kid from the early 80s, well, their EP of Factory Records covers may be the coming-out party, but this is where it counts.
Because no matter how easy it is to remember Unrest as a racing pop act ("Cath Carroll", "Make Out Club"), the fact is that they were starker and artier than that, and the scattershot experiments of their early releases can still be heard fading into this one.

 Erlend Øye: Unrest: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
For an album where each track is under new management from the one before it, Unrest remains remarkably consistent in tone and quality.
It helps that all of Øye's collaborators, no matter the pedigree, leave the avant-garde leanings at home for fairly straightforward electro-pop atmospheres wrapped rather conventionally around what I assume were pre-prepared verse/chorus/verse Øye originals.
With indie rock and dance music showing indications that they might be merging onto the same highway somewhere in the near future, it's time to tone down the recycling and start applying the innovations of IDM to this ungodly, and possibly thrilling, hybrid.

 VH1.com : Unrest : Biography
Robinson, bassist Tim Moran, and drummer Phil Krauth formed Unrest while students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA; borrowing their name from a Henry Cow record, the fledgling trio soon made its debut on the first TeenBeat release, the 1985 cassette compilation Extremism in the Defense of Liberty Is No Vice.
All of Unrest's releases catalogued Robinson's ever-shifting lyrical and musical obsessions, which (especially at the outset of the group's existence) often resulted in jarring track-to-track juxtapositions embracing everything from punk to funk.
The EP Animal Park appeared in early 1994, but at the peak of their success, Unrest then disbanded -- while Krauth mounted a solo career, Robinson and Cross reunited in the short-lived Air Miami.

The motley cluster of avant-rock tone bursts inside are reminiscent in theory of jazzbo prog-rockers Henry Cow (an album of whose gave Unrest its name), but in actuality, things like "Live on a Hot August Night" and "The Tundra" are little more than lazy clutter in dada drag.
