5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! I'm shocked., March 28, 2000

This review is from: Mdfmk (Audio CD)

KMFDM used to be cool, with songs like Inane, Megalomaniac, A Drug Against War, etc. But somewhere down the line, they began to lose it. The album "Adios" was one of the worst KMFDM recordings I've ever heard. Anyway, I hear they're breaking up, and I'm pretty sad to hear it.

Later on, I hear that they are reforming as a new group MDFMK. I immediately preordered the album, then thought I was going to waste my money. Today I received it. Oh my god, I'm shocked.

It's an entirely new direction, and EXTREMELY good! They add more guitar samples and industrial static. Plus a brand new female singer(who sings almost entirely on the song Hydroelectric). Almost all the songs on this CD are very good, and all of them are listenable.

But don't listen to me, don't listen to anyone else, go buy it. If you like industrial in general, you'll love this. Just keep in mind that if you buy this expecting more KMFDM-style music, you're gonna be disappointed. This is a brand new direction, an evolutionary step.

Best songs: Stare at the Sun, Witch Hunt, Hydroelectric, Control, Torpedoes, Transmutation.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME! Best work in years!, April 9, 2000

I bought this CD with a little bit of hesitation as the past few KMFDM cd's have been mostly recycled lyrics and music. With a few exceptions here and there, most of KMFDM's work in the 90's has sounded like one LONG album, just never-ending with the same sound, lyrics, etc.

I was *shocked* when I heard MDFMK - right from the opening song "Now", it ROCKS! This album is more polished and *heavier* than anything KMFDM's done lately. An album dosn't neccessarily need to have loud thrashing guitars on every song to be considered "heavy" - it's all about the mood and the build up. I am very glad to see Sascha, etc. experimenting more than relying on the same old power riffs and samples. This album is an evolution for the sound and for the band.

I had also enjoyed the spin-off project "Excessive Force" and MDMFK kind of reminds me of those albums in that it is a further exploration and experimentation with music and sound. Cranking up this cd while driving in the car made me feel like going back in time and taking out my old high school, lol. (joke!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, October 9, 2003

From the ashes of KMFDM, here is MDFMK; consisting of former KMFDM members Sascha Konietzko and Tim Skold with Drill singer Lucia Cifarelli. Even though this album wasn't well received, MDFMK is packed full of catchy dance beats and rhythms, plus loads of excellent guitar work; much more so than many of KMFDM's material. Standout tracks include "Rabblerouser", "Get Out of My Head", "Torpedoes", "Be Like Me", and "Control"; all of which display MDFMK at their best. While the album falls just a tad short of being something truly special, in the end we are left with an album that was a blueprint for something that could have been (KMFDM eventually got back together not long after this album's release). All in all, MDFMK is something that is definitely worth listening to if your a fan of industrial/techno music, or even KMFDM (although that doesn't aply to everybody; many KMFDM fans did not embrace this album). If you like what you hear here, I strongly suggest picking up the Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack which features an MDFMk tune called "Missing Time", which is probably the best song from this outfit.
