Considering these Germans industrialists have been around since 1980, actual studio albums are quite a rare occurrence for them. Sure there have been stacks of releases such as singles, EP’s, compilations and anthologies such as the excellent 2007 Too Much… Continue Reading →
I had a primitive race once; kid at infant school tripped me over and broke my egg so I battered him round the head with my wooden spoon. The judge said as I was in my 20’s this was particularly… Continue Reading →
Warning, rampaging insects invading the cyber industrial zone! It would appear that PreEmptive Strike 0.1 have a bit of an infatuation with the Robert Heinlein penned classic Starship Troopers. It could be this or any other 50s B Movie feature… Continue Reading →
As far as I am concerned this is absolutely a seminal live album and one that’s up there alongside Ministry ‘In Case You Didn’t Feel Like Showing Up.’ There are quite a few parallels between the two, as line ups… Continue Reading →

I’ve grown to hate the term ‘industrial’. Being able to remember the heyday of real industrial when Throbbing Gristle, Chrome and (early) Cabaret Voltaire were the avante-garde, then the dirty mutant metal infected siblings of Ministry, Godflesh or Front Line… Continue Reading →
You can forget all about Tex-Mex, welcome to Tech Mex. Sorry could not resist that but it is a good enough intro to describe this veritable feast of beats from an album whose full unwieldy title is El Último Minuto (Antes… Continue Reading →
Apparently this album has taken eight years too get to this stage, due too various members touring duties and such, and completes the third part of a trilogy with which I have no previous acquaintance. So starting from the top… Continue Reading →
