Several concepts within this work are something I've not seen done by an
artist before, first the blatant use of long segments of other bands music
included together in a musical potpourri/collage, and second a list where
ALL the samples on the album were liberated. I'm not sure I'd have the
audacity (or was this for legal considerations) to publish a list of
sample sources.
As for the music, it is a well constructed series of pieces ranging from
sample collages (see above), EBM style dance music, to harsh, almost
eclectic, electronic music. There are no comparisons, beyond one track
mildly resembling a Nitzer Ebb piece. However, the music seems to have
problems choosing a direction in which it wants to go. The tracks seem
to vary widely throughout the album. This doesn't generally distract
from the quality of the music, but it tends to confuse the listener.
