Originally released at approximately the same time as the KMFDM album "Nihil"
on which Raymond performed guest vocals, "Sinsation" is a domestic reissue that
was previously only available as an import from Japan. The first half of the
album contains the most guitar oriented Pig tracks I've had the experience of
listening too and lays the groundwork for perhaps the most musically diverse
Pig album to date. The last half of the album contains mostly long drawn out
orchestral arrangements much in the same vein as Steroids Maximus, albeit
without the aid of Jim Thirlwell. One might be also quick to point out that
this album is the most commercially acceptable Pig release as well which might
be why Nothing Records choose to reissue it first before the remainder of the
Pig import catalog. However, I would not stop Raymonds Watts short and label
him a sell out just because his record label choose this album as his first
work on their label. Raymond has always been a compositional genius, thanks in
part to his early work with the likes of Thirlwell and Sascha of course.
"Sinsation" only serves to attract a larger audience who might have never had a
chance to enjoy a Pig release. Thereby luring them to purchase some of his
older, more 'experimental' albums when they too, are reissued.
