Dat Politics "Go Pets Go" Album Review
PETS GO!!!!
Anyone who doesn't have a taste for the absurd will hate this. How does one go about describing the salacious sound of DAT Politics? Imagine the following: Take a CD of self-affirming children's songs, scratch the back with a razor blade to ensure maximal skipping, then speed it up and play it simultaneously with fuzzed-out hardcore electronica beats. Think Four Tet on ether in Las Vegas doing Unicorns covers. Now, you should have an idea of what's in store. (The band self-describes themselves as "Laptoppianists" on one track; this is another particularly apt description.)
DAT Politics is by far my favorite deconstructionist musique concrete pop group, occupying a small subgenre alongside glitch masters like Chicks on Speed, Max Tundra, Blechdom/Blectum, and kid606. Anyone who likes any of the previous will love this with a passion.
(sidenote: the reviewer who said this sounds like Aphex Twin has no idea what s/he's talking about.)

Bark Psychosis "Codename Dustsucker" Album Review
Soothing Psychotic Barks
I have been listening to Hex for almost 2 years now, and I've never gotten sick of it. The sounds that Bark Psychosis create were something new back then...and as my tastes have changed I've stuck with Psychosis Barking's more steadily than almost everything else in my collection. I have been short of cash for a long time, but once I got my finances in order I ordered a Bark album (I hadn't realized they had made more)...this album shows that the Barking Craziness has been no fluke. This is an expansion of their sounds, but not diluted, not refined, just a widening of an already grand vision. I love this. Like Mogwai except more inventive, like the best of Low except with a wider palatte, the most sublime of electronic acts. It's the 90's, but its palatable. Beside their pure mastery of tone, mood and texture, their greatest feat is their play of structure. Imagine Tool, except they love your ears, they want to express their angst by creating a world you want to live in and never leave. Yo La Tengo meets Bladerunner. It is an emotional experience. Whatever it is, ambient, postrock, I never tire of it. I'm going to get my hands on everything else they've done as soon as possible!

Mouse on Mars "Radical Connector" Album Review
Not My MoM
Sorry, but I've been a MoM fan for over ten years now, faithfully absorbing every hint of a nuance of a warble that this crew could fascinate me with, and their latest album, Radical Connector, IS BARELY LISTENABLE! I mean, who are these guys and what have they done with my MoM? I agree with the reviewer (Willinger) who considers this their worst work to date. I hear them on satellite radio from time to time -- only songs from this album -- and it's all I can do to sit there and shake my head in disgust. Don't get me wrong... MoM is, like, a top five all-time favorite of mine... Niun Niggung, for me, is the pinnacle of their amazing, original sound, and Glam is a thing of beauty in its own right. If Radical Connector is the only MoM you know, do yourself a favor and give those a few listens. Once they grow on you a bit, you'll know what these guys are all about (or at least so I thought).
It took me a very long time to break down and write this review, as I feel passionately about MoM's music. But alas, it's time for me to face the music and openly declare my dislike for Radical Connector -- well, the vast majority of it. I won't even waist the time to try to report on diamonds in that rough, even though they do exist... cubic zirconia at least.

Prodigy "The Fat of the Land" Album Review
One of industrial metals calling cards
Bursting onto the scene in 97 with this breakout album Prodigy in many ways took the baton of industrial metal from Trent Reznors NIN and ran with it. It really is inconceivable that without NIN paving the way for them Prodigy could of had anywhere near the impact they had on the mainstream. This album is killer stuff, taking a range of traditional hard rock/metal shadings and giving them a new set of clothes and really adding a serious dose of accessibility to the industrial metal pantheon.
Starting up with Smack My Bitch Up the band show themselves to be no record company darlings. I mean it's not the most subtle way of starting up an album is it? The album moves along from there to Breathe, one of the hits off this release and belting the listener up front with two of the best songs on the album is a clever bit of conventional track listing. And in many ways, music aside, this is a very traditional metal album. The whole shock rocker look of the band and the `hey look, I'm a borderline nutcase' shenanigans of the frontman fitted perfectly the mood of the mid to late 90's and the bands videos had just enough of a touch of the gothic to rope in some goth metallers for a bit of a boost to album sales.
Further down the playlist of the album we get a series of songs that by themselves aren't world beaters but they are solid and they hang together very well and bludgeon the listener. Except of course for Firestarter, a slow burn industrial nugget that uses it's hypnotic repetition to good effect and it's this catchiness that probably inspired the band to put this out as the lead single, paving the way for the albums climb up the charts in a number of territories.
Personally I would perhaps have finished the album with Firestarter as by the time Climbatise and Fuel My Fire set out their respective stalls the listener has pretty much heard it all. Not that they are bad tunes, but they aren't up to the same levels of frayed sanity as Firestarter.
Prodigy never managed to better this album and it still stands as one of the most commercially successful industrial metal crossovers ever and for good reason. The guitar textures and the relentless backing beats create a textured wall of sound that sucks the listener in. The shock rocker act seems fresh and about as real as it ever is and this is, without a doubt, pretty much the most humanly connective industrial metal album around, the band sending forth concise blasts rather than the more downbeat musical labyrinths of NIN.
