Politicz is a studio album by the British rock artist Kevin Coyne which was released in 1982 on the Cherry Red label.
AllMusic's reviewer Dean McFarlane awarded the album 3 stars and said, "One of the British singer/songwriter's more outwardly experimental records, this album contains some of his most intimate work, deeply personal songs and techniques which were taking him further and further away from tradition." [1]
In 2012 Record Collector , reviewing Coyne's career, said, "Coyne hooked up with Alan Hull's guitarist Pete Kirtley and synth player Steve Bull for Politicz, a charmingly schizoid half-acoustic, half-synthetic album. But Coyne was on a downhill slide.". [2]
Pascal Regis, reviewing the album, said, "Another good example of the way Coyne used the talents of his sidemen. Steve Bull offered him some rough synthesiser demos which Coyne seized on. Refusing to re-record them, he improvised lyrics on top and released the result intact. ... Coyne is at the peak of his art. "Banzai" and "Tell The Truth" are harrowing plunges into the world of madness over heady techno loops. "I've Got The Photographs" and "Flashing Back" are examples of precious - and all too rare - acoustic moments in the Coyne oeuvre." [3]
