Living in the Heart of the Beast was, in 1985, the second full-length album by the Kalahari Surfers, the recording identity of South African musician Warrick Sony. The album title was taken from the title of a Tim Hodgkinson composition, "Living in the Heart of the Beast" on the Henry Cow album In Praise of Learning. Jon Savage wrote in the New Statesman that it was a "success", praised its "viciously critical (and historically intelligent) lyrics", and compared it with early Zappa.[1] The NME called it "brave".[2]
