Industrial music reviews

This cd is really cool. If you can find it anywhere be sure to buy it. I am a big JAMMS fan. This is the best cd for the coming millenium. If you liked the What time is love? song. You will like this cd. In the background you hear the melody of the song. And a guy screaming, "And what time is love?" They also use samples from The KLF and The Jamms. The second track on this cd would be really cool if they played it at a football game. It is What time is love? really jazzed up. Even though it is a short cd. It is well worth it. At the end of the first track they play the original what time is love? theme. And people shouting forget the Millenium! A great cd.

For those uninitiated in the ways of Nurse With Wound, give this one a listen. It's very representative of their broad diversity of styles. Track one represents their more ordered rhythmic side like some tracks from "Rock and Roll Station." Track two represents their more agreeable ambient side, while the rest of the tracks represent their classic style which is characterized by improvizational noize. There is also a remix of "I am the poison" which I am quite fond of. Out of the myriad Nurse With Wound releases, this one is easily one of the top three on my list. Even if you own all of the other Nurse With Wound albums, I would definately recommend picking this one up to make your collection complete. You most certainly will not be disappointed. There are five tracks, two of which are over twenty minutes, so the album is well over an hour. This album will definately be getting a lot of play time from me. I have successfully recruited quite a few new Nurse With Wound fan with this one.

Play... Listen... Enjoy...

If your into techno,industrial, and hard hitting beats then you gotta get this. There are some ultimately fresh tune here. Definetly 92.3 K-Rock WON'T play.

The CD lives up to its title, containing New Wave and goth/industrial tracks that mostly evoke a futuristic environ. The tracks are very pop-oriented, and a curious mix of dark industrial and bubbly optimism. Some songs are quite beautiful, like New Order's "Evil Dust" and Info Society's "On the Outside". Overall, a great listen, and mood-enhancer

I dont see the point of Sascha Konitzko having 2 bands at the same time but this band is excellent. Some of the best Industrial ive heard. A good mix of guitar and industrial noise. Any fan of KMFDM will lve this CD.

Ooooooyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhh! Good music from the talented and amazing KMFDM. This is the ultra-heavy-mega-beat! Great guitar sounds blended with sheer electronics. A real treat for you KMFDM fanatics!

Lots o fairly nice stuff on this album, sorta interesting mix of folk/industrial noise with religious overtones. What makes the album for me, though, is the one track "Dies Irae", 8 minutes+ long, and indescribably beautiful and haunting. If you can find the album, buy it. I lost my copy in a fire five years ago and am still looking for a replacement

This record is easily one of my favorite albums of all time. It's proof of an unjust world that this album has scarcely been available over the past ten years. Except those rare copies offered at prices of an arm and a leg.

Eschewing economics, the beautiful music of RAIJ has bucketloads of passion, mystery, innocence, and is rife with an adventurous spirit of experimentation. You can literally hear the joy in their musical discoveries, from track to track. In it, you'll hear a valid attempt invoking the spirit of Europe: From otherworldly Gregorian-style chants to madrigal acoustic guitars/flutes to echo-chamber percussion and floating electronic soundscapes, even excerpts from Cocteau's movie ORPHEE. That is, a musical journey from medieval times to our electronic era. And it's breathtaking to hear such imaginal leaps through their sound.

It wouldn't be too off the mark to consider their music in the "apocalyptic folk" tradition of, say, Current 93, Death In June, etc. And like this style, it takes acoustic instruments and collides them with electronic manipulations. But this collison is done in a way that is totally singular and without peer.

Only an anarcho-Christian collective like them could have brought all of these elements together: Acoustic-electronic, innocence-wisdom, lucidity-confusion, Christian-pagan.

The interviews are very cool, and many of them are quite funny. The songs however are bad. It's not Marilyn Manson, it's the Spooky Kids and all the songs (on disc 1) are live and the quality of the sound is horrid. All the interviews are from the antichrist era, and like i said are good....i wouldn't say 35 dollars good in any way though. If you desperatly require to hear manson and twiggy's voice, go ahead and buy it, but if it's the music you want, i would highly recommend just buying the 2004 release "Lunchboxes and Choklit Cows" the quality is great on that album! As for the second disc, it's a cool idea to give all the bands from the spooky kids era in florida a second chance, but as you listen you can immediatly tell why manson made it and they didn't. So the disc is alright, but not 35 dollars alright. I give it three stars for the interviews, the thought of the second disc and herpes is just a cool song.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM THE FIRST PERSON TO REVIEW THIS PRODUCT. Ok, its very good! Manson is SUCH an intellectual and its great to hear him interviewed! The songs are also good and im the first person to review this product. I dont even know what it is! But Marilyn Manson rocks!

"gregm_inca" enthused so much about this album that I went back and gave it some more listens. But my conclusion is still the same as when I put this on the shelf a few years ago and let it start collecting dust: Mighty Whity, Verklemmt, and Slung are great, but the rest is kinda boring and not that noteworthy. Too much of the directionless slow and grindy stuff ("Friend or Foe," "Mortgage," etc) and not very much life overall. The production is great, as is the musicianship, but that doesn't overcome the less-than-average compositions in my book. Especially when you compare this album to Flow, which I think is years ahead of Gash.

That said, the three tracks I noted above are really quite good - Mighty Whity is a shredding punk tune, Verklemmt a kinda catchy pseudo-dance-hit, and Slung is a brilliant jazz assault. They're worth buying the album for.

This may go down as the "hidden diamond" out of the Foetal canon. That is, this may ironicly end up being the album that everyone either forgot or ignored. This was recorded for the (heh!) "behemoth" Sony (Columbia) record company at the height of the most recent music industry band buying frenzy. Consequently between getting this major label deal and landing some broadcast projects, JGT managed to _finally_ get some advanced finances to make what could very well be the all-time slickest and shiniest-sounding (post) industrial record ever. (It's total night-and-day from his days with NURSE WITH WOUND.)

Nevertheless and true-to-form, this record is absolutely unclassifiable... aside from obviously bearing certain FOETUS trademarks. If there's one identifiable style, then there's a dozen... all infused seamlessly. As one might expect from a major label debut, it could be argued that this is the most accessible album he released so far, but "accessible" for FOETUS and his fans is likely to be nerve-wracking, insane, and unlistenable to the typical listener. At the same time, the music contained therein is about as melodiously and lyrically memorable as one might expect from a big-name pop group. The difference (and the potential breaking point) for an unwary listener is in the sheer richness and intensity of this album. FOETUS has long since approached record making by using the recording studio as a means for overarching and orchestral ambition (while maintaining an all too close-to-the-bone street/club-oriented feel.)

This is still an utterly amazing album even to this day!!! I think that _Gash_ is far more merciless, vicious, and relentless than anything JGT or nearly any contemporary musician has composed over the past decade and a half. This album makes a listener feel as if he is being put through ritual torture while on some sort of hyperbolic drug-induced rush. There are simply no dead points here. Even the lament "They Are Not So True" cuts out before there's a chance to settle breathing. "Verklemmt" was released as a single, but just about any song on the disc could have been spotlight-featured.

Also, I need to make a point of his wordsmithing ability. Typically, FOETUS will reference cliches, idioms, slang and other conventional language only to twist them around into some really bizarre and diabolical puns. I think that he has actually achieved a new level of lyricism by developing this album to work in more personal and introspective terms. The language used generates both more sympathy and revulsion. Part of this undoubtably comes from his penchant for making several allusions to his home of New York City. Right from the album's start the protagonist is "...baptized in the Hudson River." This ironic dynamic of proximity vs. abandonment runs throughout the album including the artwork.

JGT has indicated in interviews that he has wanted to make an album with total apocolyptic finalty... something to not as much cap off his career as much as be an all-encompassing and completely self-contained work. If this would have been his final album, then I believe he would (have) succeed(ed) on all possible counts. Nevertheless, an artist (and more generally, a personality) such as JGT can hardly be quenched. With so much work under his belt, it still would not surprise me if he was interested and able to revisit this type of project again.

It is very difficult to decide whether this would make a better introduction to FOETUS than an album of much (well-deserved) respect as _Nail_ for example. I still recommend _Gash_ to anyone and everyone remotely interested in modern music that is simultaneously very challenging and compelling. Make no mistake that this is a "must buy" for fans of "industrial" and "cyber-tech" music.

Dear God this is horrible, just buy Rancho Deluxe. If you have to have a tribute CD get "Sharp Dressed Man" at least Hank III is on that. Imagine Warrant(shudder) playing ZZ Top covers at a bad lounge in Lutz Florida on 80's night(which they probably are) and you've got the flavor of this disc.

I'm a die hard ZZ Top fan. The boys from Texas, whenever they come up North, I always find time to see them in concert. I own all of their albums. I hope the album is not a tributary to them. I'm just wait'n for Billy, Dusty & Frank to come out with some new stuff. I still rate this "Tribute to ZZ Top" a 5 star, because all of the music they have made has been downright true blues rockable.
