This is really something quite unique, samplers
and tape loops with special
sounds delivered through 7 long tracks. Some
of the tracks are building themselves up
to a real climax with an almost insane intensity.
It's hard to put a label tag to this music but
I guess you could call it speed-ambience combined
with some trance psychedelia.
If you want to have the best listening experience
when playing this cd the key word is :
"patience". I really wanted to skip some of the
minutes on some tracks, all the way to the finishing
climax...
Mara's Torment:The barrier of skin-cd
Ambience of nicely done sound collages. Very mellow
and down to earth music. This
is music that gives you a very relaxing feel.
No sudden and unexpected breaks, just
floating like small waves on the ocean on a warm
and sunny day. It's music being perfect
in combination with reading or doing something
else, to be quite honest (and that's usually
the best..) it's not music for just listening
to....
Massiv in Mensch: belastendes Material-cd
Wire Productions
Hard EBM with German vocals. Quite catchy rhytms
with both sampled voices and sounds,
hard vocals and power chord synth and occasionally
Sarah Folkens voice. It's a rare mix
because Folkens voice seem to fit more in a more
techno/house environment.
The 12 tracks is too much considering the fact
that they are no "masters" in variation, the main
components are hard hitting EBM combined with
tempo (more fiting in a house/techno environment).
Don't get me wrong, I like the album but it's
far from the best one I have heard in this "genre".
EBM in the direction of either new wave/minalism
or with industrial ingredients, this is more techno/house.
A bit of the German "Love Parade" combined with
some simple catchy beats, too nice and structured.
Track 10 "Zolk" is more my kind of good EBM.

Mastertune: The Story of Conquest-MCD (Maxi-single)
Wire Productions
The single contains 4 tracks. Two versions of
the title track "The Story of Conquest, and
two other tracks. The opening track is too popish,
a carneval tune with some EBM rythms,
without trumpet sounds is would have been much
better. Track two "Mediaworld" is a lovely
tune, a bit Depeche Mode feel. The second version
of the title track (track 3) is not much better
than the opening track version.
The final track is building itself up to a real
enjoyable level, a bit of KMFDM, but then all of a sudden
in a interlude it goes back to the same "mistake"
as in the title track, and then it gets boring.
My favourite track is the second track "Mediaworld",
the other tracks are too unbalanced and repetitative
in a "bad" sense of the world.

John McNair:Tears for lucifer-cd
Yes this is close to the spirit of Lucifer...
Dark charming vocals and a very minimalistic
sound environment:
some basic beats and a lonely guitar doing all
the work. The
australian McNair has made a album that gives
your thoughts
nurishment and that's what good music is all
about, making a difference.
Membrane Conspiracy:The myth of the upstanding
citizen-cd
{a work in progress by Sean Hopp}
If this is work in progress oh my "god" what will
be the end result?
This is insanely good stuff. Sean Hopp creates
his own unique universe
with no obvious resemblance to any other musical
projects from other artists.
It's Mister Schizophrenia per excellence creating
a diversity of musical expressions,
from noise, quiet parts and mystical interludes.
Tape loops with twisted sounds, scratching
noises and manic driven vocals.
Blood is being drained from my body by a musical
vampire, everything else is unclear, my veins
is being exposed to sharp teeth, I am helpless
against the forthcoming attack...
I am being radiated by musical cleverness.
Please give me more, I am your slave!

Moonlife: Satellite-mcd
Moonlife:Over you-mcd
Planet XoX
Glittery glam retro wave, minimalistic and quite
addictive. They sound very spacy and adventerous.
The sound is very stripped down and 80's listen
alike. Gary Numan is one obvious musical reference
but in contradicition to him they sound much
more popish and not so mysterious. It's naivistic synth-pop like
Data crossed with some moody Gangway and a bit
of The Korgis with on top a sauce of Human League.

Noriko's: Love potions-cd
Smooth jazz. Imagine yourself drinking a coctail
that tastes to sweet.
Yes it's "bitter" sweet melodies performed by
a young and tasteful women.
To steal one of her phrases from the first song
"it all fall like in domino...",
very predictable if you have put the pieces in
correct order and done some
"serious" measurments.
This cd gives no surprises, just love potions....
Novemdecillion:S/T-cd
Dark haunting electronic landscapes and a intense
vocal. The twisted
schizofrenic beats sometimes creates very catchy
danceable EBM music,
just listen to track 2 "Acetylene dream", it
gives you an urge to move onto
the dancefloor. Play loud and enjoy 7 very solid
tracks that gives you several
minutes of satisfaction. Track 4 "Bipolar" is
turning the cold winds from the
north against you, very edgy metallic beats gives
you a creepy feeling. What is
hiding behind the next corner...
