Lesley Rankine returns with her own solo project after a variety of
involvements with such bands as Silverfish and Pigface over the past few years.
To call this album industrial would only be a loose interpretation of the
genre. To call it synth pop wouldn't do justice to the complex and harsh
programming methods used in production. It lacks any real definitive sense of
anger or caustic overtones and all the angst is implied rather than openly
flaunted. Lesley's vocals are also exceedingly somber and gloomy with a very
laid back style which mix well with the tone of the album. In essence it treads
a fine line between modern dance electronics and the more underground
industrial movement. For the most part the album is exceedingly mellow and
would probably be right at home on MTV's Buzz Bin knowing the musical tastes of
todays popular youth culture. However, diehard industrial fans will be very
disappointed if they are looking for anything new or innovative.
