Don't underestimate this album because of its release year 'cos this is one of Claus Larsen's (and Electro-Industrial's) influential masterpieces. Complex, intense, and innovative when it was released. Even today, very few albums in the scene that can match its characteristics: disturbing, dark, throbbing EBM basslines (not even Front 242 can match) plus brutal, complex snare and bass drums (Ministry-esque) plus background, almost-melancholic synth melodies (copied by many bands afterwards) plus symbolic lyrics (which rhyme well).

This is the kind of legends are made of. This is history...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
