Title: Charming Industrial??
Product review: I've had this album for a few years, and I sometimes forget how good it is. The sound is layered and varied, yet the songs retain a sense of spontaneity. Part of the album's strength is that it never stays with one idea too long--even within the same song. It embraces the formulas of its predecessors (there's even the early nineties obligatory Borg samples) yet it seems more like industrial trying to evolve into something new. The electro-industrial genre can sound so stale, but these kids went into their music with the vim and vigor of youth and the result is surprising. Their attention deficit will annoy some listeners, but I think some of their instincts are right on, and the album is kind of charming because of it.Their record label folded right after they put the album out and as far as I can tell they've been silent ever since. Too bad. I'd like to hear them struggle to harness all this energy and mature it into something.
