5.0 out of 5 stars It isn't for you., February 4, 2002

This EP is not for the faint. I would call it Jazz, but the Jazz purists out there would start whinning and gesticulating about.
The first time I heard this was in a crowded car and it gave me a headache. It is not conversation music. Subsequently I took the time to listen to it. Some people still listen to music actively, not as something to fill in the otherwise nervous space in an elevator, or an apartment (check out Eno for that). This is the Sound of Violence. I've owned it for a few years now, and every now and again its really fun to listen to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Noise, June 26, 2000

By 

Daymond S. Wagner (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sound of Violence (Audio CD)

The 4 tracks on this EP release all sound monotonous -- lots of noise and can get kind of irritating. There are some nice drum effects like Alec Empire and Plug's Luke Vibert can muster on most of the tracks, but lots of aural chaos that, to quote my girlfriend, "sounds like he's torturing children." My favorite off this EP is Corpses (version), which is more of the same but the best configuration of it, and is the only reason for the 3 stars. Perhaps this EP is only for the initiated. If you're a TEF neophyte, "You Guys Kill Me" is your best choice.
