Monstrum Sepsis "Doors and Windows" Album Review
Don't Let This One Get Away!
About the Band:
The San Francisco based ambient industrial / rhythmic noise project is the product of Chicago native Rob Wentz. Influenced by Peter Gabriel, Wentz also has toured with the industrial band Stromkern. The film and television soundtrack composer / engineer, who worked on notable DVDs including the Matrix Reloaded, the Matrix Revolutions, and Spiderman Special Edition is sometimes joined by Paul Karlik. Like Wentz's soundtrack scores, Monstrum Sepsis can be characterized by its emotional beats and blend of electronics and corresponding lack of vocals.
About the Album:
The Doors and Windows EP, the second major release from Monstrum Sepsis, is a follow-up to their successful Deep Sea Creatures album. The 1-hour long disc contains remixes from the first album by well known industrial acts including Android Lust, Displacer, Mimetic, and Haujobb. This disk also includes five new amazing tracks: walkout.live, painfully obvious, thermodynamics, push the red circle, and skipping stone that leave me sorry that Wentz actually doesn't spend more time focusing on making more Monstrum Sepsis material. All five of these tracks justify buying the EP in and of itself.
Some tracks I highly recommend include:
- Punch the Red Circle :: a very straightforward and energetic dance friendly track (it is traditional power noise);
- Doors & Windows (Displacer remix) :: typical of other Displacer remixes is really subdued and ominous; and
- Painfully Obvious :: a quiet though upbeat track (dark ambient).
Though my favorite offering on the album is the opening track walkout.live, which I hold has something of a flag bearer for what good electronic music should sound like. Walkout.live brings me back to some of my best electronic concert experiences and I suspect it will do the same for you as well!
Even though this was released in 2003, if you are a fan of science fiction like soundtracks and/or industrial music, I highly recommend you pick up this EP. Don't let this fly under your radar!

Seelenluft "The Way We Go" Album Review
Outstanding!
Mr. S. A. Hall "JASB@H" is obviously is too young too remember Kate's "Hounds of Love" album.
Anywho, this album is outstanding; it's worth it just for the Jim Reid vocal track - pure J & MC electro. Highly recommended!

Joy Electric "Hello Mannequin" Album Review
weaker legacy entry, but still amazing...
I have to say first, in response to an earlier review, "A Page of Life" is one of the very best joy electric songs to date. Definitely best of the album. this one's different.
first let me say that joy e is possibly my favorite band, they never cease to amaze and entertain me. this album is probably my least favorite of the legacy series. i think i find the synth arrangements a little less appealing although they are still very intricately put together. this one is darker than the past couple but i would say "ministry of archers" is more perfected "dark" album while "mannequin" has a little more trouble evoking a specific theme. not that, as all joy e albums, it doesn't work well as an album. just not quite as focused. other great tracks: "wolf in the bend", "i am a pioneer" and "song for all time".

Stochastic Theory "Soliloquy" Album Review
A strong, strong debut.
Okay, maybe I'm a smidge biased because they included a remix I did on the disc, but keep in mind I only did the remix because the song itself was so strong that I couldn't pass up the opportunity.<p>I've probably listened to this album more than anyone short of the band, and I do have to say, it's a really solid, solid disc. The programming is nicely nuanced, and a refreshing change from a lot of the straight kick-drum-and-arpeggiator electropop formula that seems to be dominating the market these days. The vocals are strong, clear, in-tune (which sadly also seems to be unusual for a lot of music these days), and somewhat reminiscent of Information Society. <p>Another nice feature of this disc is that the songwriting doesn't follow a strict formula either. There's no Depeche Mode/Erasure cloning going on here; this isn't an album of mopey brood-pop or chirpy bleep-pop. Instead you get original, creative songwriting that works as a cohesive whole.<p>All in all, it's a great first disc for any band.
