Review by selektastjarna Jun 10, 2008
Project Pitchfork was one of my favorite bands in the early nineties because they combined the best sensibilities of the three related styles of music which I favored most at the time: Gothic, Industrial, and Electro.

Obviously, they were not for everyone. For me, however, I appreciated their classical composition as well as their song-writing. It was by far not the most "tough" or dark sounding band out at the time... but the spiritual wisdom of their lyrics intrigued me.

My favorite albums by them are Lam-bras, Entities, and Io.
Review by fabriknos Oct 16, 2007
I always found Project Pitchfork to have really silly song titles, silly appearance, and mostly silly music over the years. They're not a very good example of EBM although they're commonly lumped into that category. More appropriate I would call them "gothic electronic" music which is somewhere between Sisters of Mercy and A Split Second, if I had to pick two bands. They are still popular to a degree in their home country of Germany but I could never understand why they had such success, none of their music really does it for me. To each their own.
