cyberpunk enlightenment pre star far-reaching web
By A Customer
The initial electro-industrial strain we ever listened was Provision off of this album. That was 12 years ago. we detected Willam Gibson's Neuromancer and a film Bladerunner that same day. we have been a clinging electro-industrial worker ever since. How can this even be compard to NIN or Skinny Puppy? In no star is this a same genre.
I have over 2000+ albums and cd's of mostly electro-industrial, noize, appetite electronics, dim ambient, and all a new propagandize sing-songy electro groups and we find myself entrance behind to this time and time again.
It is special since it papers pre- star far-reaching web and a industrial cyberpunk stage of a late 80s. The mantra was Bladerunner (not The Matrix, we hadn't gifted a tech bang or Wired repository yet), Laether Strip, Klute, 242, Funkervogt, and pristine dance building violence( we didn't call ourselves rivetheads and tag PVC siren to a bodies either). The star had only started raving, grunge had not come on a scence, and punk was branch emo. Bill Leeb lived within a few miles of William Gibson in a western tech paradise of Vancouver. This is what a song is about.
New FLA suffers from overproduction, mindfulness with apparatus that lets we emanate any sound, and a overuse of layered sequencing. This is absolute in a simplicty, after listening to something like Imminent Starvation or Somantic Reponses this is refreshing. And no Rhys prompted headbanging guitars!
Caustic Grip is a classic, and a time and place it was combined in is key. we recently rebought a CD as a initial one we had from a decade or so ago is indeed ragged out.

Better than 3 cups of coffee in a morning
By A Customer
When this front came out in 1990, it was only about a many assertive industrial dance manuscript out there. It hasn't aged good in this regard, though it still stands as a classical work of a time, and it determined FLA as a hulk in a genre. From a electro-punk of "Overkill" to a heavily sequenced industrial classics "Provision" and "Iceolate," "Caustic Grip" stomps forcefully by your eardrums during a near-steady 120-bpm clip. If you're looking for a discerning appetite boost, this front will fit a bill--just don't design happy, hi-NRG music; this is dark, dim stuff. Every design tells a story, and a cover art speaks volumes.

a antiquated classic
By A Customer
caustic hold by front line public is though a doubt one of a classics of industrial. it has a cold, automechanic sound, not as mad as let's contend method or godflesh, though most some-more bleak, some-more mechanical. a manuscript is generally driven by a twisted basslines and vocals, with samples, formidable programming and synths layered on tip of it. musical themes are typically FLA, with a unconventional proceed toward disunion by record and corporate control. there are dual reasons i don't rate this higher. while it is a cohesive listen it also is sincerely repetetive and also it sounds dated. generally when it is compared to a likes of spare puppy, front 242 or ministry, who expelled albums around a same time that sound most fresher currently (ministry - mind is a terrible thing to taste, spare puppy - too dim park, front 242 - restraint for you)
altogether a good album, nonetheless flawed. recommended
