Originally released on vinyl by Mantra Records in 1989, "My Whip, Your Flesh" was the first album by Limbo, that released it three years after the debut MLP "In Limbo". "My Whip, Your Flesh" was sounding different from the first MLP, which contained some songs coming from the first demo, "Poisoned Kisses" (a track they released on a compilation issued by the fanzine Komakino) plus some new ones. If the first Limbo were a sort of dark wave electronic combo influenced by Virgin Prunes, the new Limbo were more obsessive, dark and sometimes kinda electro industrial (check the pounding drums of "This Fire Trinity", for example). For sure, having Paolo Favati, who's famous also as being responsible of Pankow's sound, at the mixing desk had its relevance. On "My Whip Your Flesh" most of the tracks are long and repetitive and sound like Becuzzi and Mustone were possessed by an evil entity. On this album Limbo on lyrics start to play with sexual contents: check the LP sides that were called "Penetrationis Pars" and "Ejaculationis Pars", check tracks like "Meopenisintuavulva" ("My penis into your vulva"), "Big Sex Beat", "I'm The Lust", "Les 120 Journées" (inspired from the De Sade book), "Eros Et Thantos" and the closing "Pain Is Pleasure". This reissue released by Oltre La Nebbia Il Mare sees the original intended track list plus a heavy sound restoring work made by Diego Lo Porcaro, Limbo member since the late 90s and, before, member of Kebabtraume. Now the tracks sound more powerful compared to the ones you found on the 1991 CD edition of the album (it has been released along with their second album "Our Mary Of Cancer" but with "Pain Is Pleasure" left out) and also the sound of the instruments is more detailed and balanced. This is a great chance to check the first Limbo album but be prepared, because there are a lot of surprises about the band in the near future!
