This band sounds very little like their labelmates Bile. The whole album seemed
to be unfolding an alien or galactic story to the listener, with the future
and space being a big theme throughout many of the songs. The band shows some
originality by using different languages throughout the album; mainly German,
but some French, Italian and one or two others thrown in as well. The band
incorporates a lot of different elements throughout the album; so if your
expecting straight-ahead electro-industrial album, this is not it. There are
some songs similar to their track on the Chaos Compilation (Shine 2001 - which
appears on this album in the same form), and many of the songs come across with
the same aggressiveness, but they do not limit themselves to this style. The
styles this band uses range anywhere from Mexican to ambient to loungy-type
moody stuff. However, the album does have somewhat of a "punky" feel
throughout, but be assured, when guitars are incorporated into a song, they
never drown out any of the other ingredients. The entire album gives an overall
impression of being very catchy and bouncy.
