Temo: Dismantled - Breed to death
US industrial formation Dismantled return with brand new 10 track maxi "Breed To Death". This time mainman Gary Zon tailors his release - directly assimilating the electro sounds found on "Breed To Death" for ultimate club compatibility : a mutated electronic fusion of 80 's, electro-clash and trance alongside traditional electro elements and harsh synthetics. "Breed To Death" purposefully exaggerates the new wave of electro music, balancing the edge and complexity inherent in Dismantled's music with a driving synthetic pulse. Additionally "Breed To Death" includes remixes from :WUMPSCUT:, PSYCLON NINE and HAUJOBB plus an amazing cover version of the Paula Abdul ( ! ) 'classic' "Straight Up".

Temo: Babylone Chaos
Fantastic conceptual Book + CD release, featuring soundtrack music from harsh industrialists H.I.V+ centred around 100 photographs ( taken over the course of 4 years by the Divine Comedy Records boss himself ) showing the obscure and darkest places of his home city, Marseille. "Univers Carcéral" draws parallels between the industrial noise movement ( showing how lives are conditioned and compartmentalized ) and real pictures from city environments : walls, iron, aggression, but also life and communication. With harsh-intelligent-industrial structures from Babylone Chaos, H.I.V+ and Mourmansk 150 ( with remixes by ASCHE, ISZOLOSCOPE and DJ MAURI ) this aural / visual depiction is a realistic illustration of modern life in the carceral universe...Yet another remarkable, outstanding project and conceptual release from superior French Industrial label Divine Comedy. Limited to 500 copies only.

Temo: REVIEW:FUSSPILS 11 ALBUM:ELEKTRO-POLIZEI
It has been said, in various promotional contexts, that this second Fusspils 11 album has been eagerly awaited by the fan base. I honestly did not know they had one, as their debut "Gib Ihr einen Namen" pretty much sounded like a half-finished Funker Vogt product. "Elektro-polizei", released no less than six years after its flaky predecessor, could also be deemed close in sound and attitude to Funker Vogt, but that all lies in the craftsmanship of mastermind Gerrit Thomas. Whatever comes out of him and his Lager2 studio creatively tends to lean towards three basic foundation stones: static beats, effective melody alterations and dynamic production work.
"Elektro-polizei" has engaged the forces of five men and one woman, but it is still essentially Thomas' wand that is puppeteering the action. My favourite vocalist (well, he's in the top-three) Tim Fockenbrock (Ravenous lead singer) lends his always impressive skills to the Peter Maffay cover "So bist du", giving it so much life it's blooming into electropop perfection. This one, alone, makes the album worthy of attention. Why they don't use him more is a mind boggling mystery.
A number of additional covers, like "Wo die wilden Rosen blühen" (a snappy electro attack on the classic Kylie Minogue/Nick Cave duet) and "Bodo Ballerman", actually add to the overall quality of a disc suffering from lack of variation musically. Jens Kästel, Fockenbrock, Peggy Johanson and Thomas himself make sure to broaden the spectrum vocally, but only Tim excells in that department.
With a tear in my eye, I am beginning to recognise the condition a friend pointed out to me some time ago; that Funker Vogt, Fusspils 11, Ravenous and Fictional nowadays all sound pretty much the same. I am still not convinced, but I would love for, say, Ravenous to put a halt to my growing hesitation.

Temo: REVIEW:Neuroticfish ALBUM:Gelb
Neuroticfish is out in full force once again. Gelb, the highly anticipated full-length album featuring the track “The Bomb” released in EP format late last year, is now available. Since their inception by Sascha Mario Klein in 1999, Neuroticfish has consistently produced one dance hit after the next. This welcome release follows true to form, with 13 new tracks, continuing in the vein of recent releases like Les Chansons Neurotiques and Surimi.

New listeners will discover a thoughtfully constructed synthesis of goth/industrial music, highlighted with techno elements and intelligent lyrics that mark their signature style, sometimes likened to Depeche Mode. While “The Bomb” stands out as one of the strongest tracks on Gelb, fans will not be disappointed with the rest of the album, which offers an engaging variety of tunes to get you dancing. Notable songs include “Why Don’t You Hate Me?” and “Waving Hands.”

Track List:
01. Loading…
02. Why Don’t You Hate Me?
03. The Bomb
04. I Don’t Need the City
05. I Never Chose You
06. Waving Hands
07. Short Commercial Break
08. Ich Spure Keinen Schmerz
09. Are You Alive?
10. You’re the Fool
11. Solid You
12. They’re Coming to Take Me Away
13. Suffocating Right

Temo: REVIEW:Diary of Dreams ALBUM:MenschFeind (EP)
Adrian Hates is one busy man; besides being the founder and owner of Accession Records, he is also the man behind Diary of Dreams, one of the darkest bands on the Metropolis Records roster. Characterized by a blending of effective production, distorted arrangements of electronics and guitars, tortured vocals and poetic lyrics, Diary of Dreams have been climbing the goth/industrial ladder for nigh onto seven years now. Their last album, Nigredo, was a concept album that detailed mythologies partially based in reality and partially in their own nightmarish visions. Now, the sequel, MenschFeind, has been released.

Leaving alone the disturbing cover imagery (which looks like a combination of “Silence of the Lambs” and “Village of the Damned”), this music is disheartening. From the heavy beats and ominous vocals, it would seem that the purpose of this album is to leave the listener in a state of discomfort, almost to the point of being utterly frightened. Adrian’s vocals are deeply melodic one moment, turning into a whispered growl the next. A good example is the title track, in which the chorus is sung in a low guttural tone that sounds like a demon calling your name. The use of atmospheric piano melodies in songs like “Haus der Stille” and “Killers” keeps these songs grounded in some recognizable reality that the listener can hold on to, while the electronics sound otherworldly. The beats are crushing, stomping their way into your psyche, and clearing the path for Adrian’s vocals to make their way to your very core.

While the sound of Diary of Dreams is not totally original, it is effective and not usually done this well. The songs progress in such a way that makes sense to the listener, embarking on a journey from one end of the atmospheric map to the other. The only problem is that these progressions are almost too logical, making the songs too long for extended listening. They start strong but before long the need to move on becomes apparent. The only exception to this is “Treibsand,” which is the shortest song on the album (though not by much), and the closest the listener will come to a club-friendly dance track. Of course, it’s difficult to have dramatic changeups in electronic based music, so the comparison to Type O Negative would exist only in the atmosphere that is produced, as well as the vocal tones. Adrian’s baritone doesn’t demonstrate too much of a range, sounding very low on the bass almost constantly. This can get boring after a while.

Diary of Dreams is not without talent—their songs are well-constructed and well-produced. This would make a good album for a goth nightclub in need of background noise, with its effective ambience and depressive tones and oppressive beats. The lyrics may sound like they’ve been lifted from the poetry archives of “Vampire: The Masquerade,” but they serve their purpose in pulling the listener into the band’s realm of disquiet. MenschFeind is a decent album, with its melancholic melodrama being both its strength and its weakness. There is little variety between tracks, making each track sound like different movements to the same song. Some could interpret this as a virtue, like a sense of classical composition (helped by the symphonic leanings of the closing track, “Pentaphobia”). However, it also makes the album sound the same from beginning to end. Par for the course for Diary of Dreams, but perhaps a sign also that the band should start looking into stretching out into other territories for fear of falling in the pit of tedium.

Track List:
01. MenschFeind
02. Haus der Stille
03. Day-X-Relic
04. Killers
05. Treibsand
06. The Cage
07. Pentaphobia

Temo: Ikon
After four years, Australia's premier Gothic / Darkwave act returns. Hot on the heels of a successful EP ( ''Psychic Vampire'' ), Ikon usher forth their first full length album since 2001. ''Destroying the World to Save It'' offers thirteen tracks showcasing intricate and creative songwriting, and a refreshing, invigorating sound for the band. The overall production and sonic quality is the best yet from Ikon, thanks in part to mastering by the talented engineer Ted Phelps. With songs such as "Rome" and "Without Shadows" they pick up the thread of club hits like "Condemnation". Many of the tracks on "Destroying The World To Save It" will certainly please existing Ikon followers, whereas others ( such as ''Psychic Vampire'' ), could be a Darkwave hit in any modern Goth club, and will surely bring in a whole new generation of adoring fans ! ''Destroying the World to Save It'', with its dark melodies and moody guitars, will please those who yearn for a sound once made popular by artists such as Joy Division, The Cure, Death In June etc...

Temo: The Search
The 80’s postpunk and British indie music slowly but steadily make a comeback. Bands like Interpol, Radio 4, Astral and The Stills use the musical heritage of the 80’s in a refreshing way in their modern alternative music. References to The Smiths, Suicide, Joy Division and The Cure are hip again. Now we have something hot again with The Search. Sweden's newest export, The Search, proves with their debut album that you don't need to be noisy or extravagant in order to do the job. Their sound brings to mind influences from eighties bands such as The Cure, Joy Division and Sad Lovers & Giants. The band combines a very crisp wavy guitar approach with a classic rhythmic backbone consisting of bass, drums and keys. Their prog-post-punk sound makes the experience of listening to this album one that you wish to repeat over and over. Throughout the album the powerful strums of the bass and synthesizer, absolutely separates their music from other bands-being their strongest element. Overall, this is a good post-punk tune that builds nicely to a climactic frenzy then fades out slowly. Don't miss out on this one!

Temo: New Order
New Order's latest offering, Waiting For The Sirens' Call, does not break significant new musical ground for the band. New Order sounds like New Order. Peter Hook's melodic bass lines weave around the hypnotic percussion of drummer Stephen Morris while Bernard Sumner's guitar alternately provides enough abrasion to tear holes in the sonic fabric or enough jangling pop sensibility to piece it back together. Synthesizer melodies and electronic blips supplement the traditional guitar/drum/bass rock without smothering it. Distinctions from New Order's past catalogue can be found, of course. The album's title track, "Waiting For The Sirens' Call", is one of the best New Order songs in recent memory. Unfortunately Waiting For The Sirens’ Call does not have the same overall dynamic urgency that the band’s previous album, 2001’s Get Ready, possessed, but it showcases a similar tendency towards guitar-driven pop over chilly synthesizer numbers. Like the band's other recent albums, this work offers an increasingly poppy side of New Order that carries the band further from the cold chill effectiveness of their early post-Joy Division days. At their best, New Order have crafted some glorious guitar melodies to stand alongside their more popular twelve-inch dance tracks and this album is a celebration of this talent that too often goes unrecognized when the band is alluded to by the masses. The best songs on Waiting For The Sirens' Call show a New Order that still refuses to live in history books.

Temo: REVIEW:HEIMATAERDE ALBUM:Gotteskrieger
I have decided to deem Heimataerde's "Gotteskrieger" the first 'must have' CD of 2005!

Fans of Wumpscut, Grendel, and The Retrosic will fall in love with "Gotteskrieger" upon the first listen. Fans of music with super heavy beats and cool synth lines will fall in love, too.
Throw in some harsh (but intelligible) vocals, a ton of cool samples, and occasional classical and medieval elements, and you have something for everyone who likes dark music.
There is stuff for the addicted dance-floor enthusiast, and also for those who just like hard music that scares the average citizen.
This CD manages to be truly beautiful and melodic at times, yet never loses its evil qualities. This is quite an accomplishment. Of course, there are other bands that also pull this off, but the majority only succeed in making songs that sound like a mish-mash of musical elements that don't seem to fit together properly. Heimataerde pulls it off wonderfully and, after repeated listening, I've yet to find a weak spot on "Gotteskrieger".
The vocals are in German, which is perfectly fitting for the music; it is a very powerful language, and this is very powerful music!
I simply must make mention of the beats on this CD; they are some of the most diverse and heavy beats I have heard in a long time.
"Gotteskrieger" never becomes repetitive. There is quite a bit of variety to be heard, but you always know that you are listening to Heimataerde, as the music has a certain something that connects them all.

01-Non Nobis
02-Die Offenbarung
03-Endlos
04-Du Fehlst Mir
05-Gott Ist Mit Uns
06-Deus Lo Vult
07-Moerder
08-Immortals
09-Die Laeuterung
10-Gib Mir
11-Ich Hab Die Nacht Getraeumet
12-Wiedergaenger
13-Gibt Es Wirklich Einen Gott
14-In Nomine Domine

THIS ALBUM IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE WHO ENJOYS POWERFUL DARK MUSIC!!!

I really can't pick out one or two standout tracks because they are all excellent. Don't even think twice about picking this CD up. Buy "Gotteskrieger" at your earliest convenience; you won't be disappointed!

Temo: REVIEW:THE ELECTRIC HELLFIRE CLUB ALBUM:Kiss The Goat (reissue)
The industrial dance goth rocker's album "Kiss The Goat" was released ten years ago. Now we got served the Anniversary edition featuring restored artwork and two rare bonus tracks.

The band surrounding former Thrill Kill Kult member Thomas Thorn kicked up a fuss when they appeared in the scene back then.
With their mixture of tongue-in-cheek satanic worshipping, industrial grooves, sawing guitars and demonic vocals, Mr. Thorn (vocals, keyboards, programming), Sabrina Satana (vocals), Gregor Mephisto (guitar, sound effects), Rev. Dr. Luv (keyboards, samples, programming), Richard Frost (drums, percussion, programming), and Otto Matrix (sound effects) offered a sinister outfit that you could only love or put in the cheesy corner.
However, the band had their individual way to present their mystically effecting, powerful music.
Pulsating drums, driving guitars, exploding synth sounds and deep bass were combined with all kind of spooky ingredients like spoken words, monk choirs, creepy screams or whispers, and loads of other devilish voice samples.
The songs offered many faces - fiery, psychedelic, catchy, sexy, thoughtful, evil, monotonous, spectral. "Kiss The Goat" - the album was produced by Keith "Fluffy" Auerbach (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Pigface, Skinny Puppy) - includes all aforementioned elements. Strange but true, it even reminds me of a collaboration between Thrill Kill Kult, Ministry (85's "Twitch" era), and James Rays Gangwar (Mr. Ray being part of Sisterhood before he did his own stuff).
Some of us may know this album and trax like "Hellfire" (the remix not being too different), "Dakshineswar/In The Temple Of Flesh", "Slaughter Of Elysium", or "Evil Genius (The Queen Of Sin)" from various club nights, but for those who don't I can recommend to check this album out.

Tracklist

01-Invitation to Damnation
02-Hellfire!
03-Dakshineswar/In the Temple of Flesh
04-Abattoir Eternal
05-Slaughter Of Elysium
06-Incubus
07-Evil Genius (The Queen Of Sin)
08-Love Is The Law
09-Jack The Knife
10-Bitchcraft
11-Creepy Crawler
12-Night Of The Buck Knives [Coming Down Fast Mix]
13-Kiss The Goat!
14-BONUS - Hellfire! (Cykophuk Remix)
15-BONUS - Root Of All Evil (Bring Me the Head of Bob Larsen...)

LONNIE DONEGAN 1931-2002
Death of Lonnie Donegan in the early hours of Sunday November 3rd 2002.
The Glasgow-born singer was midway through his UK tour after recovering from a heart operation earlier this year and was due to play a concert in Stoke, Staffordshire, on Monday.
The star was with his wife Sharon and son Peter when he died in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, on Sunday at about 0230 GMT. He had been complaining of back trouble shortly before he fell ill. Lonnie was staying with friends during his tour. His last performance was in Nottingham last Wednesday.

Best known for novelty songs like My Old Man's a Dustman, Lonnie Donegan enjoyed a worldwide reputation among musicians as exalted as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Van Morrison.
Donegan's enthusiastic espousal of skiffle, blues, gospel and American folk music was instrumental in igniting the 1960s British blues revival.
He was born in Glasgow in 1931, the son of a classical violinist. Although he moved to London's East End aged just two, and always considered himself a Glaswegian.
Christened Anthony James Donegan, he became known as Lonnie in the early 1950s when an over-excited master of ceremonies confused him with the American guitarist Lonnie Johnson.

"When I was nine, I told my parents I wanted a guitar," he said. Five years later, Lonnie Donegan got his hands on his dream instrument, a battered 30-shilling version.
Through a jazz club, Donegan met Chris Barber, the singer, trombonist and doyen of British trad jazz. To fill a much-needed role in the band, Barber taught him the banjo.
After two years of National Service, Donegan and a group of other musicians, including Chris Barber, set out to improve their playing, eventually re-forming as the Barber Sunshine Hot Six.

Personnel changes marked the band's evolution into the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group. A new, transatlantic, musical form had been born.
During the early 1950s skiffle, with its guitar-driven rhythm, tea-chest basses and washboard percussion, was hugely popular and Lonnie Donegan was its biggest star, notching-up 28 top-30 hits.

The accessible nature of skiffle led to an explosion in guitar sales, from a mere 5000 in 1950 to 250,000 in 1957.
Among those who formed their own groups were Liverpudian schoolboys, the Quarrymen, who would be reincarnated as the Beatles. Other young fans included the Kinks and the Who.
But Donegan himself denied that skiffle ever existed as a musical genre. "Skiffle is a mixture of music, it's a mongrel music," he once claimed.

"It came via me singing American folk and blues songs with jazz improvisation and overtones. You can call it anything you like. It's neither fish nor fowl."

But the hits kept coming, among them Cumberland Gap, Puttin' on the Style and Battle of New Orleans.


And his success was transatlantic, though he was initially banned from playing guitar in the United States when the American Federation of Musicians classified him as a variety act.Even so, he became the first British male artist to have two American Top 10 hits.
Lonnie Donegan appeared on the Perry Como Show on American television, in an intriguing comedy double act with Ronald Reagan, and sharing the bill with a debuting comedian, Woody Allen.
As the skiffle craze waned at the end of the 1950s, Lonnie Donegan recorded new material, fun songs like Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavour? and My Old Man's a Dustman.
The Beatles began their transformation of popular music in the early 1960s but, as some of his fans became stars in their own right, Lonnie Donegan's reputation as a musical innovator soared.

Elvis recorded one of his songs, I'm Never Gonna Fall in Love Again and Paul McCartney was the moving force behind Putting on The Style, a 1978 tribute album featuring cameos by, among others, Elton John, Rory Gallagher and Brian May.

Lonnie Donegan also developed a close musical friendship with Belfast's finest, Van Morrison. The two collaborated on Donegan's well-received comeback album, 1998's Muleskinner Blues.

Morrison later recorded another homage to Donegan, The Skiffle Sessions, featuring another fan, the legendary New Orleans blues pianist Dr John.

Though Harold Macmillan was Prime Minister when Lonnie Donegan's last hit single graced the charts, the slightly-built performer with the strange Cockney-American singing voice enjoyed a musical reputation which will live on through thousands of skiffle fans around the world.

rhiannon: oh thanks Rhiannon...I figured it had to be new- I would have taken notice of it before. Is it just the 4th set that is covers or the whole 4 CD set?
I'll have to check this out- thanks

I like cover albums...one of my favorites is one David Bowie did in the 70's of his favortie 60's songs..caleed 'Pin Ups', I think- some very original renditions of some good songs : )

rhiannon: I saw the song list- but it doesn't show details of who is on the album, and believe me, I looked for that!!!
I didn't know that was with Miss Piggy!!!
