Controlling Crowds is the 8th studio album released by Archive, being released in Europe on March 29th 2009. The album was played in its entirety through Myspace. Rosko John, who did the rap vocals on the first album Londinuim, appears on tracks Quiet Time, Bastardised Ink and Razed To The Ground, and Graham Preskett, who already worked with Archive on the Michel vaillant soundtrack, collaborates once again with Archive in Controlling Crowds.
The main theme of the album is the human obsession of domination, and control, hence the name “Controlling Crowds”.
