This
band is said to be the very first industrial band ever. This album includes
material recorded from 75-79 and was only available through the Throbbing
Gristle fanclub until now. What is delivered here is very experimental
electronic music and sound art. It's basically various different sound
samples, effects, noises and some voice here and there. You would not
listen to this as music. I assume that you would listen to this as some
sort of an art form. The little music included here sounds as if it
came from the 70's sci-fi classic Logan's Run. There are also quite
a lot of experimental tracks that are just various noises sometimes
combined with talking overlayed on top of them. I guess this band deserves
credit for being original for their time. I'm sure that there are many
people out there that like what this band has to offer, but I personally
can't see what they get from this scratchy noisy experimental mess.
If you want thirteen tracks of experimental noise with a 70's retro
vibe then this is for you.
