This is one of the most gritty and disturbing techno-industrial assaults that ever wound around a tape post. After listening to this it might might feel like you need a shower to get the grime off--but it won't help. From the insane Jim Morrison incantations leading into MBM's big-beat machine bomp of "All The Things You Are" to the realization that as "Helter Skelter" kicks into high gear those yelps are from Alex's brainwashing from A Clockwork Orange -- the ELP brain-searing synths that close out the anthemic Psyche Out, this is a recording that gets under your skin, literally. A seminal and highly influential exercise in industrial electronica and big beat drum sounds that's way ahead of its time.
