This new release in the Elektrauma series, along with providing the listener
some excellent electro-industrial acts (which they did so abundantly in Volume
1), has added a few acts which have a harder edge to them. As with the first
compilation, the majority of the acts performing on this compilation are
European, but they have also included a couple of great North American acts as
well. These include the great combination of heavy industrial sounds and gothic
sensibilities of Waiting for God from Canada and the coldwave brutality of
Kevorkian Death Cycle from California (although for this particular track by
KDC, the guitar is absent; but they still display their aggressive music
abilities ). And you still get some great straight electro tracks; such as the
Front 242-leanings of Covenant, the combination of seductiveness and floor
moving ability of Sabotage Q.C.Q.C.?, and the heavy techno flavoring and harsh
vocals of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Terminal Choice and [Active] Media Disease
provide some strong stand-out tracks, but most songs on this disc should
satisfy anybody's craving for intelligent and moving electro-industrial music.
