Lights of Euphoria Gegen Den Strom Metropolis It’s common nowadays that if your album isn’t good enough to stand alone, you should add some remixes from artists that people like. Lights of Euphoria were smart enough to do that for the limited-edition North American release of Gegen Den Strom (Against the River). The 12 tracks

KATTOO PLACES Hymen 5/5 Originally Kattoo (Volker from Beefcake) was commissioned to do the soundtrack for a low-budget German porno that featured midgets and de-clawed cats. But when the deal fell through, rather than trashing his work, he decided to “beat it over the head with a techno and an industrial baseball bat”. I’m not

ISZOLOSCOPE LES GORGES DES LIMBES Ant Zen 4/5 To celebrate the five-year anniversary of Iszoloscope, Yann Faussurier has a five-track treat—Les Gorges Des Limbes. Similar to the dark atmospheres and hollow drones of Aquifère, Les Gorges Des Limbes is just the flipside to his previous release, Au Seuil du Néant, which weaves in and out

HOCICO BORN TO BE HATED Out of Line 4/5 It’s hard for me to get tired of Hocico. They produce so much consistently angry, quality music and it never seems to get old. “Born to be (Hated)” is the single to the album that is rumored to be released sometime in August. Four tracks (the

HOCICO WRACK AND RUIN Metropolis 5/5   There is a special feeling when listening to a band for the first time and you are blown away by how good it is and you know you have just unearthed something amazing. That happened for me several years ago when I discovered Hocico’s first album, Odio Bajo

Foetus Not Adam Birdman Records   Foetus is an act most rivetheads are not familiar with. Since 1981, Jim Thirwell made his mark as an early industrial pioneer working with the likes of Throbbing Gristle, Coil and Lydia Lunch. Surprises ensue when putting Foetus in for a listen. The title track of the single, “(Not

FAIRLIGHT CHILDREN 808 BIT SPV 5/5 I honestly was not going to review this CD because, first of all, I’m still a little shy about admitting my newfound love for Apoptygma Berzerk and coming out of the closet recently with that whole thing. And second, because Fairlight Children really don’t fit in this genre (even
