"Political Prisoners" comes from Power to the Poison People, the 1996 album by Insurge, and it's Chris Dubrow's song top to bottom: he wrote it and sings lead while also handling guitar, percussion and a sampler. Monique Wakelin works the keyboards and a second sampler and sings, Mattieu Macroth plays bass and guitar and adds his voice, and Matt Richmond is on drums, with Jan Sebastian and guest Miguel Valenzuela piling on still more percussion.
That's a lot of hands on the rhythm for one track. Kalju Tonuma produced, engineered, recorded and mixed it, with four assistants helping out on the recording.
