1992 : Tactical_Neural_Implant

QUOTE:
"If you are looking for the milestones in the history of industrial music, look back at the 1990-1992 years and listen to some of the best releases ever made in the genre. In these years, technology for music creation was still in full evolvement, and some musicians were really experimenting to search for the limits of what the available equipment could do. Not only to find new sounds, but also to put them in more sophisticated music, to discover new textures from these new sounds and use them in different ways. These discoveries would establish standards for years of music to come. In that time, listening to that music gave to us the feeling of listening to the future... and so it was, listening to the same stuff today doesn't make us feel out-of-date... Of these "classics", one came from Front Line Assembly. In 1992 the "Tactical Neural Implant" album was released and is still the most famous production we know from this band. Even today fans are discussing a lot about this album, many of them feeling that this is the ultimate album that Leeb and friends have ever produced.
What made this album so brilliant was it`s textures. Although still a kind of industrial music, this one added a new level of complexity in song structure and composition, while being somehow more accessible to new fans, less aggressive, less abrasive, more melodic, and also more dance-oriented. The previous album (Caustic Grip) showed a new tendency to use sound sampling as a main component of the music. This time the samples are really omnipresent, mostly extracted from sci-fi and action movies, but also from industrial and techno musical sources and from the machines themselves: sound bits created and morphed in unique ways on any electronic stuff, then sampled to make a new instrument or a new rhythmic element. Noteable are the "very electronic but non-abrasive" sounds that populate all songs. All these together create aural atmospheres and unique soundscapes of their own, mixing gothic feelings with ambiences from virtual worlds a la Blade Runner, wrapped into dancey, layered songs that you can easily become addicted to. Some people say this is "soundtrack music for the dance floor" or, in the inverse mindpath, "dance music for the living room". Personaly I describe this as "dance music for earphones", because you need to devote all your attention to it. Behind the main groove of each song there are many tiny details. Each listening session makes you discover a new sound, a new loop buried somewhere behind. The very layered nature of the compositions means that listening again and again, these songs won't become annoying over time.
And if you like the vocal side of music, this album pushed the limits of vocal processing where it has never been before. They managed to alter the voices so much to give them new personalities, adapted to each song. This is not aggressive distorsion : this is vocal re-creation that gives me the impression that not only can humans sing, but also their mind, a voice becoming something else than a physical characteristic of a human being. And the lyrics are, in my opinion, the best of all FLA albums, previous and next, still in the usual themes of death, technology domination, apocalyptic wars, etc. The samples often complete the lyrics. The album also demonstrated at its best the talents of the nearly-third member of the band : Greg Reely. Making a music so dense and so complex, yet, so easy to listen to was unique to that guy. By the way he morphed each song and placed it in the aural bandwidth, he created tri-dimensional atmospheres from the music Leeb and Fulber created that a Dolby Pro-Logic audio system is necessary to reproduce it as it was the sound of a movie. Music seldom play as well as movies on Pro-Logic systems, except TNI...
I could end this review with a song-by-song review, but I'll let you discover it for yourself. Some highlights: the first song "Final Impact", a mid-speed song with brillant textures, the second track "The Blade" with its house flavor, the third one "Mindphaser" which became a classic, and the ultimate FLA track "Gun": beginning slow and ambient, adding layers one by one, until its gets to a kind of military techno-industrial hymn that is amazing."

NOTE : highly recommended for newbies to industrial or FLA

Monthly Note #1

H o l a ....
Well, it's been more than 1 month now since the blog [re]started.. I would like to thank you ALL for visiting my humble blog. It's you, especially those who visit quite often, who keeps me motivated to posting new stuff here. This blog, unlike most others, focuses ONLY on high-quality and/or innovative, ground-breaking releases, regardless the year of release. As you may already know, newer does NOT always mean better. Consequently, you won't find many stuff by what I call "Suicide Commando school" artists here. That scene is full of cookie-cutter approach to making music. It's time to move on, pals...

FYI, I've been listening to VARIOUS esoteric electronic musical genres since the late 80's : synth pop, new age, ambient, EBM, industrial, ethereal, dark ambient, darkwave, as well as many industrial subgenres. Therefore, this blog reflects my taste in those musical genres which, I believe, many people share. From the heaviest, hardest, harshest, evil-sounding stuff [ie. power electronics, noise etc.] to the lightest, softest, smoothest, angelic-sounding stuff [ie. space, ethereal] are the stuff that I listen to. Such vast, complex range of genres/styles, some of which quite opposite to each other, reflects my own complex personality and moods. Most people I know who like harsh EBM certainly do not like or even hate ambient. And vice versa. But not me, my friend. It's boring to listen to only one or two genres all the time. Harsh EBM and ambient certainly have nothing in common in terms of style, feel, mood, etc. but both are esoteric electronic musics which the mainstream music press SOB's always ignore or underestimate. Therefore, although most of the posts are industrial in nature, I also post other high-quality stuff from other [mostly] electronic genres as well, ie. new age/ambient, ethereal, darkwave, synth pop.

BTW, industrial is a loose term for many kinds of experimental, mostly electronic music. It's perhaps the most advanced genre in the music world. It's a genre that has so many subgenres and styles compared to other genres. And industrial itself has influenced other genres in many ways, especially goth, metal, even boring "dance" music. This is a genre that is never afraid to experiment, which consequently leads to ground-breaking innovations. For example, it's not Enigma who first used Gregorian chants in music, but, I believe, it's early Delerium and other industrial-related artists in the 80's. The now-trendy trance music, to cite another example, was created by Psychic TV and Coil who are offshots of none other than the legendary Throbbing Gristle (surprise!)... :D

Raison d'être : Metamorphyses [2006] FREE DOWNLOAD

"Raison d'Etre. Everyone that knows about the dark ambient genre's existence knows this band. Some say it's the best band in the genre, some say it's too ethereal to be good, but the truth is that Raison d'Etre has been releasing outstanding records for years now. Not only outstanding, but genre-defining.

Metamorphyses is — don't say you didn't expect it — amazing as well. It does, however, show an even deeper change when compared to the old stuff. Instead of the church-sounding ambient of the early releases, here we have a far more drone-based, if not industral, ambient soundscape. Rhythm isn't as important now, opting instead for textures and atmosphere while still retaining coherency.

The album is divided into six long parts for a total of 55 minutes. Another difference related to this is that the album flows like if it were just one long track, evolving and changing, and not like six thematically different songs.

The various degrees of the build-up of tension throughout the six tracks play a major role in the album. The music usually starts calm and quiet, and logically turns loud and noisy, only to turn calm again, like a constant cycle. While predictable, this formula proves itself to be effective when combined with Raison d'Etre's new sound. It is, in a way, similar to the way post-rock works: you need to listen to the complete thing to really know what's going on.

Another main difference is the not so constant usage of samples. Samples were used, that's obvious, but now feedback and machine-like sounds are central, leaving sampling as just a secondary process. This, coupled with the minor role rhythm plays in Metamorphyses, makes the album more of a (non-metal) drone one than a dark ambient one. However, fans of both will enjoy the album as it fits both genres.

Atmospherically, Metamorphyses is less rigid than most ambient, relying in pure ambience and not in assaulting the listener with two thousand ideas at the same time. Yes, you could say it's aesthetically simpler than the old Raison d’Etre albums, but it's certainly better this way.

Raison d'Etre still represents what's happening to the whole dark ambient genre: turning less rhythmic and more avant-garde. From the outside, it looks like it's turning like a modern, synthetic, musique concrete, without the whole tape processing. Its overall quality isn't dropping, nor is Raison d'Etre's. (8.9/10) "

Imminent Starvation : Human Dislocation [1997] FREE DOWNLOAD

QUOTE:

" This album is full of brutal percussion, massive amounts of distorted rhythms and machine noises. Tracks like "Lost Highway 45" really stand-out as top-notch rhythmic/power noise pieces. Building on various machine noises, hard pounding percussion and drone filled synths, "Lost Highway 45" pushes you along at a heart pounding fever inducing pulse. The track "Rumours" relies on gritty drum sounds and a funny little rhythm. This track gives me images of tiny machines working in a factory in unison with the beat and sounds of metal scraping and being beaten into submission. "Dislocation 2&3" is probably the fastest and percussion heavy track on the disc. Mountains of distortion collapse around a pulsating machine beat, accented with bits of noise and some great electronic sounds. I can see this track really destroying dance floors around the world causing spasm-like body distortions as club-goers try to keep up with the pace of this monster of a power noise track. If drone filled ambience is your thing, you'll enjoy the track "Infected," which has a very dark soundtrack feel to it. very creepy and indeed interesting. With sporadic drum beats (reminiscent of the type of drum sound used in the start of the movie akira) this track will have you mellowed out in no time. I love the contrast in tracks on this disc. One minute you're dancing around like a madman to the pulsating beats and rhythms the next you're relaxing to the sounds of dark eerie soundscapes. An absolutely brilliant disc and a much needed addition to any power noise fans cd collection."

NOTE : highly recommended for those curious about power noise subgenre !

This album maybe old but THIS is Claus Larsen's genre-defining, influential album which has a tremendous impact on the Electronic Industrial genre. This could be called one of the pioneers of the Aggrotech/Dark, Harsh EBM subgenre movement, along with early yelworC albums. The album combines the best elements of innovative Industrial artists at the time such as Front 242's trademark EBM basslines, Skinny Puppy's and Klinik's harsh distorted vocals + dark, haunting melodies, Front Line Assembly's appregiated Halloween-soundtrack-like synth lines, and Ministry's brutal drum machines. The later-generation bands such as :wumpscut:, Suicide Commando, and other Aggrotech/Dark, Harsh EBM wannabes just follow the path this innovative album has created. Another history has been carved into stone.........

Ah Cama-Sotz [1997-1999] FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD

QUOTE :

"There are many ways one might describe Ah Cama-Sotz. Electronic, ambient, atmospheric, and experimental are just a few. But, the music is more than its sound. It is the mood and emotion the music evokes. Klapholz 's earlier works were quite rhythmic and broke into ritualistic ambient. As the music evolved and changed over time, it continued down its dark path and became even more doomy and haunting. Themes continue to deal with some very heavy issues, and touch on the dark side of mankind. The ugly side of religion, death, plagues and war. It is the stuff mankind is constantly causing and fighting at the same time. Should you choose to listen to Ah Cama-Sotz, rest assured you will find something dark and sometimes sinister waiting for you."

DIARY OF DREAMS : FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD #1

BIO
"Diary of Dreams is a German electronic goth music group. The lead singer and founding member Adrian Hates has produced most of the albums by himself or with minimal help from others. He rarely uses a full band, except when he is on tour.

Adrian Hates was originally a classically trained guitarist and pianist, and subsquently bassist of Garden of Delight. He initiated the Diary of Dreams project in the late 1980s, taking the name from one of his early classical guitar compositions, 'Tagebuch der Träume'. The first album, 'Cholymelan', appeared in 1994 on the Dion Fortune label.

Encouraged by this success, Adrian formed his own label Accession and released a string of albums over the following years, building a loyal fanbase each step of the way. The second album 'End of Flowers' was released in 1996, expanding on the darkwave sound of the debut. 'Bird Without Wings' followed a year later, whilst the more experimental work 'Psychoma?' arrived in 1998.

The first sign of consolidation came in 1999, when a compilation album 'Moments of Bloom' appeared, containing two reworked tracks from each album. The next two albums 'One of 18 Angels' and 'Freak Perfume' (plus its companion EP 'PaniK Manifesto') made greater use of electronic rhythms, resulting in greater club play and wider recognition for the band.

Their 2004 'Nigredo' (a concept album inspired by a mythology the band designed themselves) saw a move back towards the more subtle, sparse concepts of old, but still featuring bursts of their more recent, danceable sound. Songs from the Nigredo tour were later released on the live CD 'aLive' and the companion DVD 'Nine In Numbers'. The most recent Diary of Dreams album 'Nekrolog 43' was released in 2007, offering a greater variety of moods and concepts than previous works."
