Rated 5/5
Review by gimmethembreaks69 Aug 27, 2003
A very cool and abrasive fusion of EBM with (Joey) Beltram-style techno, this album has a cold and precise feel to it that suits the industrial genre perfectly, yet has enough pounding beats to appeal to mainstream techno fans too. This is essential for fans of industrial dance.
Rated 5/5
Review by harrisj Jul 02, 2003
This is definitely Haujobb's best album, and it marks a turning point in the band's musical style from a harsher and somewhat copied industrial noise to a more distinct IDM sound. The album was obviously influenced by Lassigue Bendthaus' album "Render" in subject and style. Both albums are concept albums about computer technology and its effect on humanity. Render is set in the present, but Solutions is set about 20-50 years in the future, with its futuristic city cover. This would be an excellent sountrack for any William Gibson novel. Haujobb has done a masterful job of composition and the sound design is top-notch. As with any Haujobb release, this sound was quickly copied by other European industrial acts, but this is the unsurpassed original. Get it, it's worth it.
Rated 5/5

This album is a true masterpiece. It's haujobb's finest release, and definitely one of the finest electronic gems of the nineties. Way ahead of it's time!!
