V/A - Gloria Victis Vae Victis

2006-02-04 / Chris / Reads: 9761

War Office Propaganda offers us a compilation CD which features 20 artists. The compilation is diversified, but it sticks to a certain pattern at the same time. Definitely, the acoustic guitar of Belborn extinguishes itself. In this case this sailor-song-like playing suited my taste. The presented styles aren't tiresome, on...

30Hz Dirge - Stendecade

2006-02-04 / Chris / Reads: 9325

I take 'Appear' - the shortest track in comparison with the others - as an intro. Sound of helicopter, cold passages. 'Bored' - reminds me of Recoil - it's a great advantage, though it not always helps in promotion. There are four tracks on the album that last more than 10...

Not every group can boast a career as long as De/Vision's. Not every group has a fanbase similar to that of De/Vision, too. Finally, not every group can release a record after so many years, that will satisfy fans and not only fans. Such delicacies occur not only in one...

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,...

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile

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...
