September Reviews


Frontline Assembly - Re-Wind
Metropolis Records - 14 track double CD
Remixed Cd from the last Frontline full length. Definitely quite a masterpiece. The remixes are better the the originals. Remixes by Front 242, Collide, Kalte Frben, Tim Sxhult, Cydonia plus FLA themselves. Some sounds are extremely techno oriented but still as aggressive and powerful.



Funker Vogt - Killing Time Again
Metropolis Records - 19 track double CD
This double Cd contains remixes as well as some new songs. Heavy, aggressive, electronic music like no other. Distorted in your face vocals and great beats. This CD is probably the most agressive EBM Cd sound there is around. Pure darkfloor at its finest .



Leatherstrip - Yes-I'm Limited Vol II
Metropolis Records - 11 track CD
Basically this contains 4 songs remied many times. Remixes are by new darkfloor bands like Apoptygma Bezerk, Control Fusion, In Strict Confidence, Lights Of Euphoria plus more. There are some really good sounds though due to there being so few songs it tends to repeat or sound repeatative.



London After Midnight - Psycho Magnet
Metropolis Records - 12 track CD
Gothy yet still aggressive. Like a heavier sounding goth band. A good collection of songs with remixes and sounds. Flowing vocals are dreamlike as they sound haunting with the melodies and sounds. The swirling sounds and the beats are well produced to form a great combination.



Decoded Feedback - Bio-Vital
Metropolis Records - 11 track CD
Dark heavy paced electronics with deep distorted vocals mixed with haunting melodies. The CD is very dismal in its sound and mood. The only drawback is that the CD is very much similar throughout. Overall a good consistent sound.



16 Volt - Supercoolnothing
Slipdisc Records - 11 track CD
The growling vocals of 16 Volt. This CD is more like the last one, moving towards guitar rather then concentration on keyboards. Some songs are definitely in the realm of the better half of Marilyn Manson sound. Noisy at times, this band strikes you hard and doesn't stop.



Dead Or Alive - Nukleopatra
Cleopatra Records- 15 track CD
Mega fun!!! Yes, Dead Or Alive are back with some lost tracks on this collection including a new remix of "You Spin Me Round". The songs are still in similar taste as they have always been. Great new wave rooted electronic music.



Rosetta Stone - Chemical Emmissions
Cleopatra Records - 10 track CD
Radio Sessions from this classsic goth pop band. Contains all the hits like Adrenaline and Subterfuge, etc. A good piece to have to here a more raw sounding Rosetta Stone.



Various Artists - Risen
A Different Drum - 15 track CD
Pop electronic music compilation. This Cd is very much in the sound of Depeche Mode, Heaven 17 sound. Not very "dark" per say. Moreso go along music. SOunds at times sound a bit outdated. This is a great sounding pop CD though
