Slipdisc Records is really trying hard with the release of their first label
sampler after effectively sweeping the market of Industrial crossover acts into
their stable this past year. Unfortunately, so many of these acts have no
concept of how to mix electronics and guitars without washing out the guitars,
one wonders why they use electronics at all. In fact, the best tracks on this
compilation are in the form of remixes which remove large portions of the lead
guitar and replace them with extra rhythm percussion and electronics. Final Cut
is the one exception to this rule, due in part to their years of musical
experience dwarfing their contemporaries skills. As a result, the first half of
this compilation is best suited for metal lovers, while the second half is for
those of you who like a club mix of your favorite Coldwave act. Of course, the
title of this compilation is "Slip This On & Rock Hard", but I would have
expected a little more than a half dozen rock bands on a supposed Industrial
crossover label.
