Various artists Category: Noise Album: Revelation This review is a long time coming. It’s not so much because the CD was hard to listen to or that I was being completely lazy. I felt I had to read the booklet while I listened to the CD. Some might see that as a bit neurotic, but…

Concept 7 Category: Electronica Album: Extract E.P.   Concept 7 desperately wants to be The Prodigy. Really. With a touch of Pitchshifter, minus the intelligence and social relevance. Concept 7 seems to think that by throwing very techno dance beats along, some guitar-like synth cords, and tweaky noises in with bad Prodigy-like vocals that are…

Foetus Category: Avantgarde Album: Love I had quite a bit of expectation about the latest Foetus album. The last album, Flow, is undoubtedly one of the best albums of all time, in my estimation, and I knew it would be a hard act to follow. Knowing the rather strange nature of Foetus’ output since the…

Various artists Category: Compilations Album: DElecTROnIcT v3 I used to think that Detroit was a town that had plenty of local talent, something my locale of Atlanta never has, and that it was the type of place where you could get behind the bands that came out of the scene. Maybe I’m being a bit…

Skinny Puppy Category: Industrial Album: The Greater Wrong Of The Right Almost everything than can be said about Skinny Puppy’s latest album has been said. It’s been said and re-said. It’s been folded, spindled, and mutilated. It’s be hashed and re-hashed. And you still have one opinion or another: it’s fantastic or it’s crap that’s…

Girls Under Glass Category: Electro-Pop Album: Zyklus I’ll admit that I’m a bit surprised. I always figured, from the snippets I had heard, that Girls Under Glass was some whining dark moping goth bitchfest, likely full of cello and crap. But, surprisingly, it’s not. What I seem to have here is a very German electro…

FAKE Category: Industrial Album: Los Angeles Synthetic Despite trying my best to always be impartial and fair, I’m going to be a bit negative in this one. I’m going to skip journalistic integrity and just tell you what I think. Bear with me. I’ve heard of System Syn. I’m not sure why. From what little…

The Damage Manual Category: Industrial Album: Limited Edition   I have to say that I’m not really a tremendous fan of Martin Atkins. I seem to buy all the CD’s he’s involved with, I enjoy several of the bands he works with, but there’s a certain tone to all his music that’s a bit… off.…

S. Sturgis Category: Noise Album: In A Haze For those not “in the know,” Scott Sturgis is the mind behind Pain Station and Converter, as well as other projects, such as this one. This is a CD of a live performance recorded early last year. It speaks more so to the electronic side of Mr.…

Rotersand Category: Electro-pop Album: Truth Is Fanatic I’ve wracked my brain for weeks trying to figure out why someone would like this CD. And, after all that time, I don’t think I’m really capable of figuring it out. Rotersand, which apparently features members of 1AM and The Fair Sex, seems to be less than the…
