The kind of band that wakes you up slaps you in the face and lets you know that
electronic music isn't dead. This album would rank in my top ten of 1995, if it
hadn't been originally released in 1993 by the German label Offbeat. Try if you
will to imagine the mood evoked by such bands as Doubting Thomas or Black Lung
when they try to drag you into a world of soundtracks written for movies that
do not exist, couple that with traditional electronic dance music and the best
use of samples that I have ever layed ears on, and you have Haujobb. This is
the only band that I've heard to date that utilizes the three dimensional
capabilities of some of the best samplers on the market. In as few words,
instead of the samples being buried entirely within the music, or at the
forefront of the mix, they appear all over the place, as if a conversation were
to be carried out amongst the sample sources with the music coincidentally
playing in the background. The word Haujobb itself, is a rough German
translation for the occupation of Deckard from Bladerunner, sort of a cross
between assassin, cop, and bounty hunter. A definite must for the electronic
music enthusiast tired of the same old sound over and over.
