The music in this song is kind of irony, like here we go again with the same lies about colonization: "good british helping the poor, uncivilized natives".

The compilation and mix with the music was made by Jim Moginie.

It has been published on the Australian CD single to White Skin Black
Heart (catalogue 664988 2), a French promo-CD called 20,000 Watt Sampler
(SAMPCM4721) and a sampler called Where 2 Now? (ODCD-0277). An
interesting piece but rather difficult to listen to. It's basically an
instrumental with samples from the mentioned documentaries.

Cheers,

Stephan
