KMFDM XTORT Wax Trax Records (A&M)

Frankly, this album scares me. I am more at home listening to something light and acoustic rather than the driving beat, the hard edge, and the sometimes satanic sounding lead singer in KMFDM’s latest release.

Anyone who appreciates Nine Inch Nails will really like this album. It is dark andmysterious despite being suprisingly upbeat for industrial techno.

The band sends very strong messages in their songs, and they pick titles to represent these messages. “Power” and “Wrath” and “Craze” are just a few of the titles listed in big block letters on the back cover of the CD.

DIG Defenders of the Universe Radioactive Records (MCA)

Let’s talk about sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, particularly the latter two. DIG is primarily a guitar band. They do, however, add a bit of sampling to their songs, including sounds from the cosmos, made popular by the current Astro boy/girl subculture.

I want to explain how drugs relate to DIG’s CD. Well, they seem to have a fixation with illicit substances which is apparent in their lyrics, especially the song titles. Twoexamples are “Little Pill” and “Mood Elevator”.

There are two things that I really liked about this CD. First and foremost is the undying energy the band seems to have. They sound as if they would be really exciting to watch on stage. Secondly, I appreciated the irony of track eleven. It starts with a nice pseudo-acoustic introduction, which really comes as a surprise seeing as the song title is “Bashing In Your Head”.

Although not my favourite of the CD’s I’ve picked up recently, I say- “Give it a go.”
