Editorial Reviews

KMFDM core members En Esch and Guenter Schulz are teaming up in a new, exciting project:SLICK IDIOT. The excellent guitar work of Guenter Schulz and the dark and unique voice and expressive stage performance of En Esch, gave the music and shows of KMFDM it's distinctive and beloved edge. After the breakup of KMFDM in 1999, En Esch and Guenter Schulz decided to continue their work together and bring the idea behind KMFDM to another level. They've just released the full length CD "DICKNITY", with tracks that remind one of the golden days of KMFDM with a twist of modern glam-techno, trance and hip hop, plus a sarcastic, humorous touch. SLICK IDIOT doesn't sound like anyone else out there.... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I will go one step further than the other reviews. I will say that this disk IS better than ATTAK. I had always assumed for some reason that my loyalties lay with Sascha K.(after the big breakup), following him from KMFDM to MDFMK and back, but after hearing Slick Idiot, I had an epiphany and have to say that the compelling element that ran through the old KMFDM, must have come from En Esch. KMFDM and MDFMK, while always kickin' ass, always left me wanting. The architecture of each song was always a great thrashing lick coupled with absolute and disruptive choad. Slick Idiot's songs are more homogenous in their creativity and construction. There are only a few songs in this world that I would say have a feeling of completeness - as in nothing that I hear and say "Man, I could have done without that!!" Slick Idiot has several of these included in this great Industrial offering.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like KMFDM, buy Slick Idiot, November 20, 2002

I was skeptical about buying an album made solely by the 'throwaway' members of KMFDM, but my skepticism proved to be unwarranted. En Esch and Guenter Schulz put together a classic with DickNity. It not only has great songs like Lazy and Make Me Believe, but it's one of those rare albums that's quite solid, and much more enjoyable as a whole, with absolutely no filler. It never gets repetitive. I might even go so far as to say that DickNity is actually better than Attak. A must have for industrial fans.

These 2 guys are just awsome in KMFDM but I think were just a part of the greater good. Yes I miss their influences and dont belive that KMFDM will never be as good. Thats not saying that the two of them on a solo adventure would be as good if not better than where they came from. NO!!! This is good kraut rock, heavy guitars and good electronic music. Butthe lyrics and singing are flat and boring. I get tired of this cd about .75% of the way through. There are a couple real good songs but the rest is just power chords and pulse beats.

Give it a listen but dont expect too much -- is is just 2 people writing this stuff.
