great music terrible lyrics
Klank actually witnessed to me. Daren Diolosa pissed me off! (you are forgiven)With songs that hammer away so violently such as "Scarified", and then ones such as "Disease" whisper deep into the soul, it was easy to instantly love the way he put this together. The song, "Leave" was what caught my attention. So what's my beef? Daren Dialosa took Tooth & Nail Records for a ride from the beginning, and he knew exactly what he was doing! That sucker signed contract in BLOOD, implying THAT was his way of saying how serious his lyrics were, and his relationship to Christ. I read the interview. Then when his next CD came out, "Numb", and he wasn't with Tooth & Nail, he pulled an "I never said that" story about his relationship with Christ. What's so sad about this is that Klank actually witnessed to me in "Still Suffering", and then he pulls this. That tells me one thing about Mr. Daren Diolosa. He's STILL REALLY INSECURE about himself, and it REALLY puts his integrity on the line. People such as that have no integrity, CASE CLOSED! All they do is sell out, and that is a prerogitive they have to live with.
Hey, Daren is still a musician, and I won't take that away from him. He has a past, and I'll let him deal with that. But he signed a contract in blood for a few extra bucks, and for a statement on his CD insert. That's shameful! And it is certainly no way to live life. If he has what some people call "religion", good for him. I have my relationship with Christ, and I won't EVER sell out simply for a free meal. I've forgiven Daren Diolosa, but will I ever chance him or his band again? GET REAL!!!
OHH the POWER & the GLORY

All over the placePerhaps my two favorite tracks are "Future Worlds" and "Asbestos Lead Asbestos." The former, a sort of electronica-jazz-fusion cocktail, is nothing less than a fun and groovy listen, with an odd little sample line- "we can design future worlds." Its approach is ominous, with a bassoon bobbing in with a low note before the rhythm begins, but the most enjoyable element is the laid-back guitar soloing.
"Asbestos Lead Asbestos" is not openly hostile, but somewhat sarcastic and cynical in its lyrical message. Dangers offers an opinion of the classes, and it's not terribly nice to the rich. "Equal opportunity, except if our pedigree dogs don't like the smell of your children..." At least I think that's what he says; it's hard to tell, because his pronounciation is very odd. Whatever the case may be, it's obvious that while he's not promoting anarchism, he definitely doesn't like the general shape of society that he sees. The whole song has a very nice tap to it, again more like music played on instruments than arranged on a Mac. This is common throughout most of the album.
Until you get to CD 2, that is. While there are several songs here that fit into the performed category, a good portion of the disc is made up of gradual progressions of sound and melody. "Electric People," for example, makes me think of... well, I don't exactly know, but it's definitely more techno than most of CD 1. It's not hard to see, after you listen to this ensemble, why the experts can't quite figure out just exactly in which genre Jack Dangers fits.
I honestly don't know the industry well enough to say whether this album is influential or not, but I can say that for anyone who is imaginative and enjoys experimental music of any kind, this is something worth checking out.
Yeah... wooo...Then you get to CD two. The night to CD1's day. I can't sum this stuff into words. It's what techno music should have become. It's vicious, entrancing, LONG, rough. Analog squelches and bass are the order here. There's so many moments to choose from here. The spacious, deep space groove of "Mad Bomber/The Woods". The crushing, slow building "The Utterer", the trip hop freakouts of "United Nations, Etc" and "Plexus", and the multiple buildup/breakdowns of "Electric People". I mean, it took me forever to notice the grungy sound that carries the song around 4 minutes in is actually a distorted clarinet solo. It's just filled with little things like that. It's really one of the few electronic CDs around which betray it's electronic roots to come across feeling completely natural. More than a sum of it's parts.
As you can tell, I like CD two the best, but both CDs are completely f***ing awesome. It all depends on your tastes. But, it's a damn good buy and one of the most original CDs I've ever heard.
The Real Prime Audio SoupNo seriously, it is Meat Beat Manifesto's acid drenched "Subliminal Sandwich". This CD would've really worked well with the title "Prime Audio Soup", for that is the only way I can describe this CD (well not so much Disc1, but definitly Disc2)
Disc one is absolutly jam packed with 18 songs,every one carving it's own niche in the CD, and not a single one is boring. Each song retains MBM's signature sound, while representing a different side of it. So many subgenres are represented on this album that it is downright daunting to analyze and describe what they all are. Just listen to the samples and you will know what I'm saying. Simply fantastic, absorbing, and oddly emotional.
Somehow, by some weird act of fate, Disc Two absolutly trumps Disc One, and with only 10 songs. This CD is why I'm writting this review in the first place. Each song has an extreme volume of euphoric sound pulsing in-and-out of earshot. How Mr. Dangers
managed to make real audio soup I will never know. I'm just glad that he did in the first place.
To all you pyschonaughts out there (and you know who you are), this CD will suck you into worlds otherwise inconceivable for the sober mind. It sounds like an acid trip, as in how you would hear normal music on acid, without the acid (Get it?Got It?Good!). On acid (or you're
hallucinogen of choice) this CD is utterly absorbing all of the way through, but espescially so on tracks 7 through 10. All in all great while sober (both Cds), but unbelievably fantastic while tripping. Buy it now, so that the CD will not disapeer due to low sales. This masterwork must be preserved.

VERY BEST OF FLA
TO SEARCH IS TO DESTROY
FLA's Evolution of Sound BeginsIn this album of 10 tracks, the old sounds of FLA have merged together and mixed with more metallic sounds with the bass guitars and robotic harsh vocals sung by Leeb. This makes for one very entertaining and a absolute friendly listening experience. Just like Delerium had evolved sound and lyrical wise, I feel that FLA is on a path of self-evolution for over time nothing can stay the same way.
The best songs on this album were 'Vigilante'which took some lyrical excerpts from horror movies, 'Millenium' which introduced the heavy guitar sound into FLA and 'Victim Of A Criminal' which just mixed all the sounds into one well mixed beat.

Prick - self-titled (Nothing/Interscope) 2 1/2 stars
I bought this album when it first came out
Wonderfulcrippled by a lack of air time, prick seemed to disappear until 02' when a follow up was released exclusively on luckypierremusic com. the follow up, the wreakard, has some great songs on it but is also hindered by a couple that get so rough the melodies are lost. Kevins other band, lucky pierre, also has an album for sale on the site. it is a virtually flawless pop rock album that one can't help but wonder if it was released in Pricks place perhaps things would have turned out differently. I can't recommend any of his albums highly enough. Lets hope there's more on the way.

MORE AND FASTER!! The cover is spectacular as it has 9 of their studio released related to the songs found within on the cover. As you can see, their covers are usually done by the same artist, in 2 color tones and have some sort of 1930's comic book Scare on them...well just look at the covers to know what I'm talking about. Often it takes album art from the outset to show a new listener that a band stands out from the crowd, and this is one of those bands!
POWER, JUKE JOINT JEZEBEL, MORE AND FASTER, and many more are truly powerful songs that will take you on a journey. Leave the mainstream for a while, and jump into the world of KMFDM!

An excellent compilation.You don't have all the best tracks, but you have a sampling of some of the really good stuff ---->"Juke Joint Jezebel" and they don't have the really hard stuff on here either, so you don't scare newbies away with that.
I think this is a perfect introduction to this exciting band. If you're new to the genre, this is a place to start. Buy this album and see if you like it.

Their best CD from a solid studio bandThe title track, in my view, contains one of the five or six finest recorded guitar solos in the entire decade of the 90's. Here, Ed Gwynn channels Jeff Beck into a powerful, multi-phased statement of true virtuosity. Building in ferocity as the extended solo passage progresses, and yet avoiding the technical excesses of the Malmsteen/Vai/Satriani school, Gwynn builds the theme of the composition and finally erupts into a scorching single-string line that circles around the key of the passage and brings it home in flawless fashion, followed by a keyboard jam passage of stunning beauty that takes the song in a completely different direction. Satriani only WISHES he could build compositions like this. Exciting and inspirational.
After opening with a passage resembling chamber music from Mars in Ch'ai?, Gwynn also contributes another scorching solo which is built upon an incredibly solid rhythm section backdrop - another specialty from this particular Ozrics lineup. The whole disc is like this. Without going into detail about every track, the entire CD breathes of integrity and concentration. This is a flawless effort from a band that really deserved a lot more exposure than they have ever received.

Hey! I know that picture!I really dig the GLU sound. They basically make industrial music fun again, after KMFDM started getting a bit too serious. The vocals are way too pretty to scare or intimidate anyone. It's not about that. Its about creating really good sounds.
I prefer their 3rd album to this (their 2nd), since it is more vocal and electronic-oriented and I feel they do that better, but if you want to hear some hard guitars, then this-is-your-GLU-album. It is very much like the first, only better, longer, and with a cooler cover.
Oh, and if you're ever swimming near the statue, watch out where you touch it, because it's got some fire coral on it.
'Empty' A Downright Splendid Album..."All Wrong" is probably the best known song, since it received heavy radio play, and with good reason. With it's raunchy guitars and pulsing beats, lines like "here i am/my anger and me" comes across full steam. It's a sweeping song, and one of the best tracks on the album. "Still" also rocks with its prime guitars, lifting the album off to a great start. "Fool" has such a angst-y feel to it, with David Reilly's vocals coming off suggesting adrenaline.
Elsewhere, there's some real depth to songs like the absolutely thrilling "No More Love" which has a great beat and airy guitars with pulsing keys. "23" is the strongest tune suggesting sad emotion with such grace it will pull you to shed a tear. The title track is also full of emotion, and is a terrific track with buzzing thick guitar noise and keyboards sprinkled in for good measure. It even has a gripping chorus. "Scared" comes across ending the album on a note of question, dreamy vocals, acoustic guitars, and a noisy moment blasting through the quiet. Even the hypnotic "Tortoise" pulls through the stops.
EMPTY is a great blend alternative rock and techno creating a hybrid that works. Many bands have tried to create an album with a hybrid of techno and alternative rock. Some have not been successful, but others have triumphed. God Lives Underwater is one of those groups. EMPTY is an album full of hope, angst, and music you can definitely find lots of appeal within.
How techno blended with rock is supposed to soundFrom the opening synthesized guitar line of "Still" all the way through to the very end of "Scared", "Empty" does not let up, combining alternative and heavy progressive rock with some of the weirdest, most trippy sound effects and progression from modern electronica/techno. The only way to really explain God Lives Underwater is just the fact that there is really no other band like them, their closest similarities being Stabbing Westward and Nine Inch Nails. However, the most impressive quality of this group is that it is composed only of two members, who ideally do a better job than the 5 man bands spitting pure waste onto records and calling it music these days.
Suiting both the electronica as well as the hard rock fan, most of the songs weigh more heavily towards one genre for the instrumental portion, but every track conveys painful, heartaching lyrics and contains catchy, energy-filled choruses. Songs such as "All Wrong" with its progressive blues-scale guitar line, "No More Love", "Fool", and the aggressive "Don't Know How To Be" rely more on nicely timed drumming and distorted electric guitars to keep the music flowing nicely, making this some of the best hard rock for awhile, while other tracks such as "Weaken", "Tortoise", and "Empty" base their sounds more on synthesizers and keyboard lines, showing off their techno influences.
The only tracks where the band slows down from their aggressive, energy-filled performance are in "23", a captivating song about loneliness and searching for answers in life, making it one of the best songs on the album. "Scared" is the most mellow song on the record, and unfortunately also the weakest, but it still maintains quality by throwing in the adversity of acoustic guitars.
Standout tracks are "All Wrong", with its catchy guitar line, "No More Love" as it blends guitar with keyboard into a virtual frenzy, "23" showing the groups soft side, "Weaken" giving bright techno influence, and "Empty" with its chorus.
This album definitely got more mainstream attention than their later release, "Life In The So-Called Space Age" (also a great album) due to the catchy choruses and guitars, both of which were lost on the very non-radio friendly "Spage Age" record.
Fans of electronic music and rock alike can rejoice with this band. "Empty" and the self titled EP both have the same feel to them, but the newer "Life In The So-Called Space Age" takes the music to a different angle. I would only recommend "Space Age" to the fan of Radiohead and like-minded music, but "Empty" has a friendly catchiness that most fans of hard music can appreciate.
Example: "Hate pulses straight through my vains Every time I hear your name... Forgiveness has been denied You have left me scarified" (from the song "Scarified")
Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
