Due to the huge number of very very bad bands and lame attempts at copying the style of the original masters of the EBM/Industrial genre, lately I had been experienced a huge loss of interest in Electronic Body Music, the very thing that got me hooked many many years ago and that actually made me start D.L.K.. This record brings me back good old memories of what it is supposed to sound like and how it is supposed to be. It re-awakened my initial excitment and passion for EBM at once! Douglas McCarthy and Bon Harris, a.k.a. Nitzer Ebb, have been among the most influential and historical artists of that period... Along with Skinny Puppy, Die Krupps, Cat Rapes Dog, Depoche Mode, Die Form, Das Ich, Sloppy Wrenchbody, Nine Inch Nails, Front Line Assembly and many many illustrious other great bands of that time, Nitzer Ebb were writing history one record after the next, with german-sung anthems, pounding beats, fast-paced keyboard sequences, distorted vocals and all the other elements of the original blend. Today, thanks to the collaboration of the Italian band XP8 and Sebastian R. Komor (of Icon Of Coil, Monofader and Moonitor fame), you get to re-live it all in this awesome tribute record, that goes to show not only how tribute records outta be made, but also what EBM is supposed to sound like. Teach those many talent-less kids a lesson.
