5.0 out of 5 stars NOT your daddies Nine Inch Nails!! This stuff is HEAVY AND MUSICAL!, February 2, 2007

Trent Reznor and all the other come latelys cannot hold a MUSICAL candle to these the YOUNG GODFATHERS of proper, electronic rock----in any way, shape, or form....please believe me! Take it from a NIN fan!

I first heard this album way back in 1992 and the recording was already 7 years old at that point....a whole decade before computers were largely used to make music.
Samplers back then were extremely tempermental, with tiny hard drives if at all.....mostly employed floppy discs...NO virtual instruments were around, no commercial libraries thank God. All music was sampled by hard work, experimentation, and talent.

These guys are real Swiss MUSICIANS loaded with talent and IDEAS!!! imagine that, IDEAS!!!.......
This, their first release is very enjoyable to listen to and beautiful throughout.....without being light handed....
And the BEST PART ??????? NO G U I T A R S!!! but you will NOT find a HEAVIER group of well crafted songs anywhere..

My only complaint is that the American record public largely missed this the Mother Load of gorgeous inspired RAWK........it's GREAT TO BE ALIVE

5.0 out of 5 stars plain - er - brilliant!, May 24, 2000

This review is from: Young Gods (Audio CD)

this album is absolutely unbelievably brilliant! the young gods are, well: young gods. the stuff they've come up with, using "nothing" but samplers/sequencers, drums and a vocalist, is mind-blowing. this is their darkest album imho, not for your easy-listening evenings. the songs are mainly sung in french. the ones sung in english have a very particular charm because the singer has got a very nice accent. i've listened to this album lots of times over the past five, six years. and it still sends shivers down my spine every single time! even if every track on this album was only available as an individual single cd - you'd still have to buy each and every one of them! this is one of the greatest cds i have in my (1000+) collection. and even after having heard it so many times, i still discover new things every now and then! just listen to "did you miss me"; it's all samples from classical recordings, put together in such a fantastic way! i have to stop here: no words can possibly describe this music! buy this cd - and then buy young gods play kurt weill, t.v. sky, l'eau rouge!
