Considered Haujobb's greatest full - length, this is a breathtaking hybrid of EBM, trance and breakbeat, intersected with creepy, quieter, not quite ambient moments. Think Front 242 meets Paul van Dyk, if Paul van Dyk was a better composer, meets, well, the influences they cite in their liners (Coil, da Metalheadz, Herbert's Dr. Rockit work) and that's the vibe. Despite the obvious influences and stylistic mish - mash, the only thing I don't like about the record is the vocalist's Cevin Key impression; his voice is sort of low in the mix, and the lyrics, while effective in imagery, rarely moves on a personal level. That said, the 'sub bass unit' interludes are REALLY atmospheric, and Cleaned Vision is just classic, a perfect combination of Wax Trax! - era Underworld stomping dance meets u - ziq grade drum programming overdrive, that ends right on schedule. Overall, 8 / 10. |

yes i own it and consider it to be the greatest 'industrial/ebm' record of the last ten years. it remains quite innovative to this day. head and shoulders above the rehashed/rehashed and rehashed again distorted vocals, aggro synth cliche that poisoned and destroyed industrial music. it's a wonderfully cold, digital album that actually tried to do something new. to the best of my knowledge Cevin Key has never sung on any album he has ever been on. if you're refering to Skinny Puppy than you mean Ogre. he was their vocalist. i don't see the similarity though. Ogre used lots of distortion and tended to scream alot in lieu of actual singing. Daniel Meyer keeps his voice pretty clean and annunciates his words in a fairly coherent way. Either way I consider them to be the two best of their genre's generation. |

btw Ogre was the singer from Skinny Puppy. Cevin Key composed along with the late Dwayne Goetell. |

the vocals on homes and gardens were a lot more puppy-esque, and still somewhat on freeze frame reality. There were alot of bands during that era that copied that style of vocal. X-Marks the Pedwalk is one that comes to mind, although they went on to do more techno/new wave type stuff. As far as industrial goes, one band that suceeded in moving on was Download. I think some of Cevin Key's recent stuff is on par with stuff like Autechre and Boards of Canada etc. and fits in nicely with top shelf IDM music while still keeping a hint of the industrial nostaligia. |
