Well known artists from alternative music scene have joined their forces to record this unique album. "Terre Haute", because that is the record addressed here, was composed by FM Einheit from Einstürzende Neubauten, En Ensch of KMFDM and legendary Mona Mur, who is known at least for the daring performance of "Jeszcze Polska".

The first thing that comes to mind in case of that album, is what more have to say the old stagers, who in the music industry literally ate their own teeth and whether they are still able to astonish their audience. And here is the surprise – it is an interesting, original release. We are dealing here with unfettered by anything experimentation and pure improvisation on the canvas of industrial music, and the characteristic of this material is the lack of classical melody lines.
On the whole, sometimes more or less in the background, is dominating an ethereal voice of Mona Mur. Music that is presented by musicians on "Terre Haute" shows a completely different approach to the genre. Artists are not distancing from their roots, and music here introduces to an interesting melange of sounds, which form consistent compositions. Attention is drawn by "Solomon Song" extremely intense cover of the song, which was originally written by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.

This is undoubtedly an outstanding album. Starting with the content, production and refinement of individual tracks, it does not lack anything.
Scheme in the form of experience worked by years, which is supported by good musical preparation, fired up once again. Admirers of non-linear sound should be pleased.
