To Avoid - Voyage Into the Past

2006-02-02 / Antares / Reads: 4045

The album of the German duo called To Avoid is a really decent recording. No extravagancies, bells and whistles, just a good piece of music. 41 minutes of good electro-industrial will satisfy every fan of the genre. Listening to "Voyage Into the Past" you might think of early Suicide Commando,...

The quintessentials of experimental, indu-electronica music with a pinch of rock are presented on the 1999 double LP "The Fragile" by the Nine Inch Nails. A concept album. Reznor selected bits and pieces from his experience and put them together as a collection of great tracks. I don't know why...

Definitely, pure contemplation. Winding thin thread around the thin fingers... Long entwines with long, dead merges with dead.
