Industrial music reviews

The only way to describe skinny puppy......it's unreal,how a group with this much talent can go on unheard of for so long.I guess that's the price you pay to be real.The only comparison I can think of is to nine inch nails,whose depth and inability to find the good in the bad have inspired us all.And that's just the vocals.Then there's the music itself.Personally, i don't think that music brings anything out of you that isn't there.I think that the best music helps you to understand what we can't put into words.And to me, this album and maybe The Process,are two of the best examples of that.

This album has lots of old songs on it that were never relaesed--until now! Monster Radio Man is one of the best songs ever!

This record is very good. If you like me usually listen to stuff like KMFDM, Rammstein and Ministry this is something new that you will enjoy. My favourite track is The Blues without question. I can't wait until their next release!

This CD really blew me away! It's a twisted sort of industrial metal from my hometown in Sweden and it rocks! Distorted and hard with subtle harmonies and electronic sounding vocals. GOOD WORK!

It doesn't really sound like anything else i have ever heard. It's lo-fi, hi-honest music and i keep my eyes open for future releases from this band. The rumour has it that the next CD is even more Rockbased and that would just add to my lovebombing of this extremely cool band!

The best Ambient Industrial I've ever heard! only Lustmord comes close.

�The anti-world must exist somewhere in the realm of our experience, although we cannot see or feel it.� At least, that's what Schloss Tegal try to convice you, and their arguments seem rather consistent: dark grinding drones, chilling voice samples, psionic noises and other bizarre sound effects make you hear �the subliminals which are contained within the planiospheric fields�. Based on obscure scientific theories, Schloss Tegal try to blow their electromagnetic transmissions straight into your brain cells. I don't know how many dark ambient CDs a man can listen to before he gets mad or bored, but in any case, this is rather a good one. For those who like Lustmord and still don't have enough...

"Uranus Cancelled" is epic and classic, "Love in Vein" is epic and classic, "Deadlines" is classic, "Tin Omen" version tears the house down!! "Carry" is classic. Good version of "Last Call." "Grave Wisdom," "Natures Revenge"--classic songs. Good "TFWO." Good "Convulsion." "Spasmolytic" is untouchable version. Multimedia on discs is fun to look at, too.

Brap was the first Skinny Puppy album I purchased, many years ago. It made me a true fan and I can honestly say that I cannot find one band that can come close to the type of talent that SP has. Disc 2 has a harder darker edge from Too Dark Park and Last Rights. Disc 1 is the one that I prefer, it is a trip into another dimension and I highly recommend listening to it from track 2 to the end. It is mainly sounds with little voice interuptions and it seems like the songs just flow into each other. If had to pick favorites from Brap I would say All Eyes, The Soul That Creates, Dead Doll, and Last Call.

This band is an original -- creative and playful lyrics, plus virtuoso guitar. Real talent, and fun! Can't wait until their next album

GREAT SONGS!! GREAT MUSIC!!

This is a MUST for any KMFDM fan! Aside from the original album mix of Brute, which of course is amazing, this also contains 3 great remixes and a killer B-side remix of Revolution. The Kun$t and In Your Face remixes of Brute seriously kick, although the In Your Face remix is not very different from the original mix. The Punch remix kicks butt too, but has an added element of funkiness to it. And to top it all off, you get Revolution II, which is in my opinion the actual reason to buy this CD... the original mix of Revolution was good, but this remix is GREAT! Absolutely indispensible... I could listen to the CD for days on end. If you like KMFDM, consider your life devoid of meaning until you own this album!

yeush all not to forgetten mwmom froes deid ds comfrom sliiigghh;l;ltyltlleruopl;p;;;'';;lllllyyy LIKE THE DEMONS EYS

This band encompasses a passion for what is beyond flesh and then some. They not only bleed their hopes and dreams into their music
but their souls and love. I have watched this band in shadows for many a year,...and still like a passive love have yet to musically climax leaving you on the jagged edge of anticipation. This album by my aesthetics is best by candlelite and wine,...it's an ear candy lover of sorts waiting to be ravaged in the throws of audial passion. Hopefully the band will once again returns to it's gypsy roots no p.a. required but a few hungry hearts and a bonfire by full moonlight.

This band is a traveling tour of gypsies and pirates. They pick people up in different places and their sound is continually evolving. The music is an industrial-goth genre, but if you in the goth scene and you don't know who these people are your missing out.

This Cd is really great. Lydia does her sultry thing accompanied by a really cool sort of jazzy/techno background. Its a little too short for me to be truely happy, I hope she does another disc with anubian lights.

This record makes me want to go out and do something naughty!
Very cool, sultry music from Lydia--the master. There's about six songs on this cd. All of them great. Hopefully, she'll make a follow-up full-length cd to this one.
Thank you, Lydia for devoting your life to your art!

In the continuum of the Chemical Playschool series, Volume 10 does not disappoint at all. Very solid musically and lyrically. It is also a good lead up to Vol's 11/12/13 which are also a must for any Pink Dots fan.

The Chemical Playschool series is apparently very personal to Prophet Ka'spel - and the passion comes through in the songs.

They really are the best band that no one has ever heard of. Amazing that they are still able to pump out the quality stuff at the rate that they do.

breathtaking electronics resonate throughout, ranging from the dreamy to the throbbing. a really terrific record. edward told me to write these paragraphs, but got terribly irritated having to negotiate all these horrid "R's".

They were awesome in the early 1980's with their avant guard post-punk sound. Moody and dark with glimmers of the absurd, like Kafka put to music. I lost track of them during the late '80s and '90s only to buy this album on a whim and discover they are better than ever. Part gothic, part industrial, definitely out of the ordinary, this album will not disappoint anyone who yearns for something different.

After reading the reviews on this album and listening to some of the sample MP3's on their website... I decided I had to add this CD to my collection.

Let me clarify my 1 star rating isn't because of the groups performance, their song writing ability or the musical arrangements on this CD... but rather the abysmal recording quality of this CD. They should either sue the sound engineer responsible for the "Based On Actual Events"... or stop recording their CD's in a basement. It sounds as if the microphones for the lead vocals were placed at the back of the sound stage ... or maybe the microphones were covered with wax paper! The music has a very annoying "buzzy" sound quality... almost like they were singing thru plastic Kazoozs. Even if they buzzy quality wasn't present... the music overpowers the vocals so much you can forget about trying to understand the lyrics.

While their "sound" is reminiscent of Evanescence, and the eerie tunes and arrangements sound like it has 5 star promise... I found the sound "mixing" on this CD to be so bad it became as annoying as someone scratching their fingernails on a chalk board! I appreciate the clarity of crystal clear recordings in both digital and audio sound, but this recording sounds like a recording of an old AM radio station broadcast..

The quality of the recordings between Evanescence and Unfinished Thoughts are in different leagues. With Evanescence you can not only appreciate the great music but actually understand the lyrics of the songs. The recording "Fallen" from Evanescence has an angelic clarity to the recording... whereas this "Based on Actual Events" recording sounds like it was done at one of those amusement park studios where you pay $35 to do a Karaoke recording. Granted there are a lot of great recordings where you really can't understand the lyrics... but on this recording it isn't due to the driving kickass music but rather due to poor sound quality and mixing.

NOTE: I wanted this CD in my collection so bad that (for the promise of what sounded like great music) that I decided the first CD I received must have been defective so I actually purchased another CD. Unfortunately both have the same annoying white noise sound mixed in with the vocals and the vocals are overpowered by the music. Very unfortunate. While I love the potential this album possesses... the recording quality makes it too painful to enjoy.

As a lot of people do, I constantly search the internet for lesser known bands that are in the genre I like-Alternative rock kinda stuff. I've always thought to myself, what if I had jumped on the Evanescence or something bandwagon years earlier b4 they were really famous. That would have been cool. Well, I feel I've found a band that has more than enough potential to became VERY famous. Anyway, on with the review. First of all, they are not comparable with anyone. Buy this CD and you'll see what I mean. The vocals on this CD are outstanding. They are melodious and captivating. From song to song, you get a plethora of styles on one CD. "Through Crowded Rooms" is kind of rock-ish. Then, "The Timid" is a very pretty acoustic song. Then, you have "Coming Back" which has a very interesting end that is like nothing you've heard. And these songs have a lot of meaning along with them and I like to connect with the music I listen to and this CD definitely allowed me to do that. So, I hope this helped/influenced you to get the CD.
P.S.: I highly recomend buying "Becoming Aware" as well with this. That will really allow you to see the versatility of this band.

The other day I was looking through some downloads of some underground goth bands and I happened upon one named Unfinished Thought. The information listed on them sounded interesting, so i downloaded the song "Umbrella". As i was listening to this song i was left in awe. Stacey Nelson's voice is amazing. After listening to this song for the eight time or so, i went to the artists home site, www.unfinishedthought.com and downloaded some of the other songs from this album. After listening to these i was shown that not only does Stacey Nelson have a beautifull voice, but she also has quite an amazing range. The music on this cd range through all forms of emotion. I have since also downloaded the video for Umbrella, which i would recomend to anyone, it is increadably moving and fits perfectly with the song. Now, for anyone who compares Unfinished Thought to Evanescence or Lacuna Coil obviously is doing so because of lack of better comparison, because UT is quite different then these two bands. In fact comparing them to another group is rather difficult due to their origionality. So all in all, comparing this group to another is nothing more then a silly endevore. It would just be simpiler to download the samples amazon has to offer and judge for yourself, you will not be disapointed
