Review by DirtyDisco Sep 27, 2008
I think this is one of FLA's better albums. Very dark and deep EBM, and some of the tracks sound Cabaret Voltaire-like almost, circa 'Crackdown' only deeper (at least in my opinion). The whole album is like a trip, but side 2 is noticeably a little more dancey. It's not as hard or fast as alot of other EBM stuff, but it's really a beautiful work of industrial music. "Black March" and "No Control" sort of forecast the harder stuff they would do closer to the nineties, and I don't know if fans of their later work would like this album, but it's still worth getting just for the overall futuristic and dark tone and mood the whole album sets, if not the music itself.
