Editorial Reviews

Nothing breaches the borders of Industrial Land here. A typical late-'80s Wax Trax! album, it's got all you'd expect from a proper industrial band: distorted vocals, foreboding moods, and jackhammer rhythms. This album was created just as MIDI technology was becoming accessible to most synth composers, so one must admire the technical fortitude required to create an album such as this. However, it is not particularly memorable music. --Beth Bessmer

4.0 out of 5 stars Industrial Dance Music before its time, December 21, 1998

By A Customer

Songs like "Check it Out" and "Scandinavian Bellydance" surge with great industrial beat. If you like industrial dance you'll like this album. "Rigor Mortis" is the true anthem of underground club dance. Its remarkable its staying power through the years. It ranks with "Headhunter" - Front 242 and "Head Like a Hole" - Nine Inch Nails for shear power and edgy beat. Also check out "Mambo Witch" not found on this album but can be found as import EP.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best electronic body music band in the 1980's, February 2, 1999

Living within the advanced technology that surround us every day one can appreciate the work of these belgium boys through the last 15 years when they started back in the 80's the unique rythms that made them well known around the world.Listen to "crime wave" or "Mambo witch".
