TWENTY YEARS IN ONE HOUR is a compilation CD which sums up the 1989 - 2009 period of the Brazilian band Individual Industry. At their active they have two albums issued by the label Cri Du Chat in 1993 ("Templum Probus") and 1996 ("Ice-Water"), one MCD ("Amy") and a double compilation titled "The Box", released both by Alex Twin's label Wave Propaganda. Started in 1987 as a solo project of Alex Twin, Individual Industry in 1990 became a real band when Maurizio Bonito and Lilian Vaz joined. Six months later they released their first official demo tape called "Apology" and a new adventure started. The fifteen songs of the album span from ethereal wave to lush pop passing through dark synth songs. Personally the latter are the ones I preferred, because tracks like "Cubic" (coming from their second album "Ice-Water") are able to mix interesting sounds (drum machine and synth pads) with the intriguing Lilian's melodic vocals. There are plenty of these tracks and I appreciate how they mix the different elements and, by surprise, they covered also Kas Product's "Tina Town" on that album. They made it faster but they respected its original spirit. "Eyes" is coming from the double compilation and it's a 1993 remix. I don't know the original version, but this one is really nice thanks to the intriguing dark atmospheres and Lilian's voice. After that we have four tracks coming from their debut album. These ones sound like electronic dark pop and they surprised me because, to tell the truth, their first five tracks were missing that obscure bit I love. On this album they also covered Pink Industry's "What I Wouldn't Give" and they succeeded into giving their sound making it sound still cool.

Review by: Maurizio Pustianaz (Chain DLK)

This is the opportunity to get back to the albums “Templus Probus” and “Ice Water” (both released on Cri Du Chat), the mini CD “Amy” and “The Box” (both released on Wave Propaganda) plus a few rare songs originally released on compilations. Throughout the years the main members remained Alex Twin and Maurizio Bonito while two female vocalists were also active in the band. We also get the contribution of a huge number of guest artists. The most famous and according to me surprising input comes from the legendary French project Kas Produkt (cf. “Tina Town”).
For all those who never heard of Individual Industry before this project has always experienced with ethereal and gothic influences. They also liked to work with trip-pop influences, which finally resulted in some remarkable songs. “Key Of Dreams”, but especially “Primer (Tripping Mix ’97)” both are excellent cuts. The songs are wafting, ethereal and trip-pop like. “Primer” even reminds me of Everything But The Girl, which I think is more than simply a reference. In a more guitar-wave style the “Frozen World Mix ‘97” of “Places” is one more song to look out for. I’ll complete the list of recommendations by the darker sounding “Viginti Millia” and “Lupus Et Agnus” both songs taken us back to the debut CD (1993).
Nothing really new from Individual Industry, but a good opportunity to discover a cool band from Brazil, which is not dealing with dark electronics.
