abstract
  • The Constructus Corporation is was project of Watkin Tudor Jones, who was previously in rap rock/jazz hip-hop act Max Normal.In early 2002, having summarily disbanded Max Normal (just as they were cracking mainstream cross-over) and relocated from Johannesburg to Cape Town, Mr Jones assembled the musical/production talents of Sibot and Markus Wormstorm, female vocalist Anica The Snuffling (aka Yolandi Visser) and producer Felix Laband to form The Constructus Corporation, which in late 2002 managed to deliver one of South African music’s most original concept albums- the 2CD / hardcover graphic novel/album package The Ziggurat, which combines futuristic storytelling and sound effects with vocal performances.The package also included a blank CD, meant for a free 2nd album downloadable from African Dope Records.Unfortunately the band self-destructed after a farcical 6 week delay in the album’s release (involving wrong cliche designs being printed, customs confiscating and then losing 3000 cds, and a printing bill over which a dispute with the label’s distributor almost bankrupted African Dope).Watkin and Yolandi have nowadays become better known as [a1734550], whereas Sibot and Markus Wormstrom later callobrated as [a870095].
