DESCRIPTION:
The Constructus Corporation
The Ziggart [Disk 2]

In December 2002, after a mammoth production process including mix and master by Krushed & Sorted, "The Ziggurat" was released. The album was an 88-page pink hard-covered book containing a hand-written hip-hop fantasy story by Watkin, which follows the adventures of two kids on a giant futuristic floating world/shopping mall called The Ziggurat, and detailed etched digital illustrations by Nikhil Singh,[1][2] scans taken from the South African music archive website, last accessed 21 August, 2011. The music was a soundtrack CD on which Watkin plays several different characters, and a bonus blank CD at the back of the book with instructions on where to download an entire second album of music and narrations for free, with which to fill the CD.[3] taken from the archived African Dope website, last accessed August 8, 2010. There was also a series of videos produced by African Dope entitled "How To Become A Better Person" narrated by Watkin in the guise of his Rick Flare character.

After the release of the album, the band self-destructed after a 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)



The Constructus Corporation was an electronic/hip hop act from Cape Town, South Africa, that started in early 2002 and had disbanded by mid-2003, having released one album/book The Ziggurat.
The early years of The Constructus Corporation (aka Constructus) was composed of rapper-satirist Watkin Tudor Jones, and his long-time DJ partner, Simon "Sibot" Ringrose, with Cape Town's electronic music producers, Felix Laband and Markus Wormstorm.

In early 2002, Jones had summarily disbanded his previous group, Max Normal
