This is an excellent side-project of Jonathan Sharp (who seems to be popping up
on many releases recently) of New Mind fame. This material is more of a
straight-forward techno/industrial style harkening back to the first New Mind
release "Fractured", without as much of the chaos. But not to worry, you still
will never hear a straight-forward 4/4 song from Mr. Sharp; there are plenty of
interesting samples, constructions, and noises to please your average
industrialite and make your average radio-listener twinge and go into epileptic
shock. Mr. Sharp is still a very angry man and lets you know it with his
spiteful, hate-filled vocals and biting lyrics. Energetic, heavy-beat laden
tracks such as 'Human Weapon' and 'Vaxine' compete with more tripped-out,
mellower (if you could really use that word on any track by Mr. Sharp) tracks
such as 'Wound', 'Ashes' and 'Ghosts'. The drum programming throughout is very
crisp, sharp (and sounding, on some tracks, like gunshots being scattered
across a concrete field), and fits in with the harsh atmosphere of the album.
The album also includes some very good remixes by VNV Nation and !Aiboforcen.
