Mental Floss for the Globe, Urban Dance Squad's debut album, came out in 1989 on Ariola in Europe before Arista picked it up for America the following year. The Dutch band had grown out of what was meant to be a one-off jam at a festival in Utrecht, and the lineup says it all: a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, a rapper and a DJ, all in one room.
Belgian guitarist Jean-Marie Aerts produced, and the result is a gleeful collision of hip-hop and crunching rock, with scratches slicing across fat riffs. "Deeper Shade of Soul" leads the way, with "No Kid" and "Fast Lane" also sent out as singles.
