MCL (Micro Chip League) - Code Numbers - 26-Aug-09 07:41 AM
This is an awesome electro-industrial album that needs to be properly released on CD. Every song on here is a classic, and while some different mixes have been released on "Different Mixes", two songs are missing. Personally, I feel that this version of the song "Microchip League" is much better than the Humatic Mix. Also, the last track "Short Wave Symphony" is a beautiful peace. Supposedly, West Side released it on CD in 2007 or something, but this is much more rare than the actual LP itself. I petition this for a proper wide release.
Various - Wired Injections - 31-Mar-09 12:24 PM
As industrial comps go, and especially Cleopatra comps, this one wasn't so bad. It was one of the first ones that I had owned in high school and so provided me with an intro into the world of industrial music. Looking at the tracklisting now, a lot of the songs are kind of stinkers, like the Psychic TV remix, but then there are a couple of good ones. Wired Injections contains the best Synaethesia (an FLA side project) track, and the song "Heretic's Fork" by Spahn Ranch, which is a classic. Also, the THD remix of Christian Death isn't too bad either. Like I said, let's face the facts, most of Cleopatra's comps were pretty sh**ty, and you could DEFINITELY do worse than this. That was in 1996 however, nowadays, there's no reason to go out of your way to find of a used copy of it. May as well just download the few songs that you did like and be done with it.
System 7 - Ring Of Fire - 31-Dec-08 02:51 AM
The Troniq and Volcaniq mixes of Ring of Fire by System 7 are heavy, epic techno stompers that were the centerpiece (in my head) to DJ Brian's Hardesertrance 2 mix. I always thought of System 7 more as an ambient/downtempo act, but seriously, the Volcaniq mix is a JAM. I never get sick of it, every time the beat drops, I just want to start headbanging in front of a speaker. Ha. Play it loud
Paperhouse - On Acid Too - 07-Sep-08 07:48 PM
On Acid Too is a album by ex-Click Click frontman Adrian Smith's project Paperhouse. He has released 4 other albums independently but it's not very widely known. Click Click still remains a cult band to this day, which is beyond me because it was such a good band. However, there are alternate entries for this album under his real name on Discogs, but this one has modified artwork that removes the AS logo on the cover, and actually says "Paperhouse" on the spine. Also, it has a lot more tracks than the other versions listed already. Really, Adrian is a very great musician and I admire all the work he has done thus far, with Click Click and beyond. Paperhouse is more of a experimental electronic soundtrack style which I greatly enjoy, and this newer release is a great piece of music. Highly recommended.
Trauma (3) - 22-Jul-08 09:56 AM
Trauma is an excellent electro/ambient group from Germany, which is a side-project of Girls Under Glass. I'm not as big a fan of the third album, but the first two are simply wonderful and give me chills sometimes listening to them. I especially like their "cover" of Kraftwerk's Radioactivity. It was funny how I heard about Trauma; I was reading a magazine a long time ago and it had an ad from Machinery which compared Trauma to Clock DVA. Well, no brainer then, since DVA is great. I don't see much of a comparison since the music is mostly instrumental, but excellent nontheless.
