The Constructus Corporation is the freshest product from the mind of Waddy Jones, a creative force assembled by Jones in early 2002 after he had summarily dismantled his previous group Max Normal just as they were blowing up large in SA, because the popularity of the group was stifling his ability to create mad new artforms! The group consists of: Waddy Jones (stories, rhymes and vocal fx); current SA Battle DJ champ Sibot (beats, turntables & �final scratch�); and Markus Wormstorm (beats, production), the SA electronic whizzkid recently signed to NYC label Sound-Ink; with guest vocals from the diva-imp Anika and production on some tracks by African Dope stalwart Felix Laband.

The Ziggurat is probably the most ambitious recording project ever released in SA � a multi-layered multimedia sci-fi fairytale, presented as an 88 page glossy hardcover book, with handwritten story by Jones, illustrations by Nikhil Singh - and of course a soundtrack CD. The book also includes a bonus recordable cd, with which you are encouraged to make �your own double cd� by downloading another 13 tracks from their website � www.africandope.co.za/constructus

The story takes place on a huge domed megalopolis called The Ziggurat, which floats above the Earth�s surface, housing what remains of this futuristic humanity in sterile perfection above the uninhabitable planet below. It follows the misadventures of our heroes Random Boy and Kidtronic, as they uncover and take action against the Ziggurat�s sinister secrets.

The music is dangerous; uneasy listening � an assault of lyrical genius, raw power and wicked post-production trickery that melds glitch-hop, hiphop, sonic theatre and electronica, as Jones spins his tales in a dozen different personas around Wormstorm�s quirky beats and melodies and Sibot�s scratchadelica. It�s a new form � a style the group calls Boom Bam, a futuristic music-style which involves taking whatever elements you desire and creating your own world, complete with it�s own unique soundtrack.
