Idiots think Feindflug are neo-Nazis, because their music is violent, loud industrial with a definite military march tempo underlying much of it. Throw in Hitler voice-overs and the fact that the video backdrop to their concert is WWII black and white footage.

However, for those who are actually paying attention - that is using their brain and thinking about it, they are very forcefully speaking out against war. At the same time they speak for a generation of young Germans who are tired of being made to feel guilt about events that had nothing to do with them.

Feindflug are something you really have to experience live to fully appreciate. This album is excellent and I especially love track 4, Truppenschau. Music to conquer Poland by.

Excellent to have blasting in the car when some fool blasting hip-hop rolls up next to you.

The German post/DHL combination ensured that the CD arrived, if anything, more rapidly than many domestic (U.S.) items I ordered around the same time! The CD is used; so one of the hinges on the "jewel box" is broken, about which I care not a whit, as long as the CD sounds perfect (which it does); and I saved a ton of money in the process. Highly recommended.

If you aren't familiar with Feindflug, they make heavy, pounding, electronic music: powernoise. This album is another dose of monstrous smashing beats, crazed angry German samples (is that Hiter?), and a general atmosphere of militaristic, relentless, stompy, pound-the-floor and grit-your-teeth goodness. This will drive your neighbors insane, and cause the person in the next lane to roll their windows up to avoid the blast of crunch-crunch-crunch coming from your car.

For fans of their earlier albums, I gave this cd only 4 stars because it just wasn't as inspired as their earlier stuff-there aren't any really stand-out hits. That being said, these guys are true greats in the world of industrial/powernoise and every release by them is another seminal mark on the genre.
