Sitting down to write this review, I struggled a long time to discover which
band Dark Illumination reminded me of. Suddenly it struck me, "Realize The Error"
is what Haujobb would have sounded like if they had
drastically changed their musical style. All of the elements are present, from
the mid-range, German accented vocals, the minimalistic, yet still amazingly
dense programming, and the starkly precise percussion. Here is a band, who,
without trying, stumbled onto a sound that, although similar in nature to
Haujobb, is in fact a logical extension of their post "Freeze Frame Reality"
sound. Oddly enough, not a single other individual has
noted this similarity, which shows how skilled Dark Illumination really are. As
a result, "Realize the Error", is definitely the sleeper album of 1997, even
overlooking the racist sentiments on 'Xenophobia'. I can't wait to
hear what Dark Illumination has in store for us next.
