Structured, mechanical & political, are three good words to describe this
particular incarnation of EBM style of music. The EP is distinguished by a
total lack of lyrics and strong quasi-socialist samples. Very similar to
to Kraftwerk in ideals and musical style, if Kraftwerk had evolved onto modern
equipment, and scrapped all their vocal work. The music evokes images of a
society where true military industrial complex rules its citizens with
an iron fist, very reminiscent of Orwell's "1984". A very strange mesh of
politics, and electronic music. Not intended for easy listening, rather
for those interested in the overthrow of today's societal ideals through
machines.
The tape comes in a rather unique package, a box about the size of a CD
jewel case, but around 2 inches deep, containing the tape in a plastic
cassette case, three pieces of artwork glued onto cardboard, and pamphlets
about other Arts Industria releases. All the track information and
credits are on a sticker on the outside of the box. Very creative.
