Industrial music reviews

As I said, A Saucerful Of Pink is the ultimate Pink Floyd Techno remix compilation. I doesn't totally change the original songs. It takes the masterpeices and gives them an awesome techno/dance mix twist. If you like Pink Floyd and you like dance music, you will absolutely LOVE this album.

So, ok I wa absolutely blown away by coils version of tainted love! it is haunting! and the bells in the background ---ahhh anyway anyone and everyone should listen to the pain in this song.. amazing

..Sweet, addictive, and with something for, well, most people. The sound ranges from pure, Throbbing Gristle-style noise (Sewage Worker's.., Clap) to, um, TG-style scary, ultra-primitive, animalistic chanting (Godhead ~ Deathead, Solar Lodge) - only even rawer and more threatening than TG, and far more catchy, stylish, and (dare I say it?) infernal than anything that lineup ever created- to the Enoesque, off-kilter pop of 'Restless Day', and the almost ambient 'At the Heart of It All'. There are plenty of pleasant little surprises like the presence of Gavin Friday and Marc Almond on 'The Tenderness of Wolves' and their infamously creepy re-working of pop anthem 'Tainted Love'. No truly weak points to be found- while I found 'The Spoiler' and 'Panic' irritating, even they have a certain repetitive charm to them and would fit in nicely on, say, 'Horse Rotorvator'. All in all, a damn fine album, full of choice little bonbons of noisy delight that beg to be played, re-played, and shared with the neighbours.

those possessing of receptivity may find this album to be as captivating as i have... cold, somewhat grating sounds echoing off the walls of strange rooms within the shell of the psyche yet to be explored, the energies of these rooms reflecting from the walls and penetrating the listener in ripples and waves, culminating at the end of the album with these energies forming into rhythms that awaken a chaotic, primal, bizarre, and expansive serpentine electrical current at the base of the spine and rising upwards giving rise to strange and bizarre apparitions.

This cd is the most ambient of Godflesh, but to some extent, the most mature. A lot of ambient can get boring or far too repetitive, but this album is of course, done in complete Godflesh style. Some people complain this album is TOO repetitive, which is one of the things I stated it didn't suffer from. It merely suffers from successfully creating a mood and sticking with it and building off of it. If you have your doubts, purchase this album used for much cheaper and regret you didnt get it shrinkwrapped :)

Nerves are dancing while listening of this euphoric voices and rhythms. It is wery interesting to view the dance show "Sensation Death" after it. FM Einheit is the very special and intellectual music maker. It sounds funny, but the cat Felix gets crazy when "Kompositionsspiel" is playing. F M Einheit is GREAT.

Sleep Chamber is one of the least known but most creative bands around. People think heavy metal is scary. This album will take you into ancient places of darkness. This music creates a mood and tears down the veil of reality. Active listening is required. Out of all the hundreds of cds I own, this one has been loaned out more times than any. People can't get enough of it from deadheads to metalheads to punks to pop music fans. This is an experience. Excellent for meditation. Dark meditation to the hidden realms of the human condition. Nothing is as original as sleep chamber. This is my favorite album. Think Buddhist monks chanting, tibetian horns blow, electronic noise, think Edgar Allen Poe's "Telltale Heart" read in the middle of this serene cacophony. You have to hear it to believe it! Music beyond any and all classification. Buy it and experience it today.

This is Optimum Wound Profile's follow-up to their first album, 'Lowest Common Dominator'. Not the first great industrial/hardcore band to be overlooked amongst all the commercial releases of their time. Phil Vane (from Extreme Noise Terror) and Simon Finbow blend their high/low vocals together in harmony to create a sort of 'demonic' effect. My personal favorite track on this album is 'Twisted', repetitous but addictive. Roki is a badass guitarist, and never fails to entertain. Some other tracks that may be of interest are 'Nazilover', not mainly because of the music but rather the abstract and bizarre lyrics, and it wouldn't be the end -- Much of Optimum Wound Profile's lyrics involve various subjects being warped or deviated in some way. Adding to that, there are some strange instrumental tracks to fit between spaces, such as Crotch Metal Orgasm, and Exorcise, the kind of odd filler material that always tend to make an album more intriguing. This is a recommended buy for anyone who likes good hard music. After the release of 'Silver or Lead', They would release their final album, 'Asphyxia', before breaking up.

Sirkle Zero and even more so, Secrets OV 23 is nothing short of a disturbing and hallucinatory exlporation of music as meditation. Don't listen to it alone and in the dark. It may seem harmless enough....

its a great industrial album although its very hard to understand a word they are saying and the booklet doesnt have the text in it. unlike "assasins DK united" this is a lot heavyer and guitar bassed, not so much electro. if you have assasins you can compare this album to "pub ban" track. its produced by psychopomps, not claus larsen which makes the album slower and not as dancable as assasins or Klute and Leather Strip LPs, but if you like those you'll love this one.

...Came from Static Icon with their track 'It's a lifestyle.'
My music collection hasn't been the same since. An outstanding band. They create wonderfully dark landscapes with their insistent keyboards.

Favorite tracks: 'It's a lifestyle', 'Krakow' & 'Unite'

If you enjoy Mesh, the Cure or The Nine and haven't heard Static Icon, then by all means try to get this disk!
