Subject Matter
Whilst the Irish Republican themes in "Sad Affair" are well publicised, Marxman lyrics also considered themes such as domestic violence with their 1993 single "All About Eve", and comparing the African slave trade and the colonisation of Ireland to modern wage slavery in "Ship Ahoy".
Legacy
Although once touted as the Anglo-Irish answer to Public Enemy,[2] the group met with little commercial success, despite working with a number of high-profile musicians, collaborating with James McNally of The Pogues and having Sinéad O'Connor as guest vocalist on the single "Ship Ahoy".[1] They also supported U2 and Depeche Mode on their respective Zoo TV and Devotional tours. They are however considered to have been forerunners of the trip hop genre alongside bands such as Massive Attack and Portishead,[2] and contributed to the establishment of the "Bristol sound".[4]
