But this particular new one -- Bak-tir'e-em -- suggests that times have changed since Industrial Music began as a genre. Whereas the first Dry Lungs release revealed a very dirty-sounding low-tech scene, Bak-tir'e-em represents a very state-of-the-art production value, if not being purely digital in how many of these pieces were put together. There are plenty of noisy moments to be sure, particularily by Josef Nadek, Column One and Praying For Oblivion, but also alot of Dark Ambient stuff as well with artists like Dieter Müh.
So is this compilation worth having? Well just about every track is top-notch as far as this kind of music goes, and it gives you an idea where "Industrial" and other experimental music is headed in a new decade.
This compilation will be out in October 11th. Get it from Adeptsound.com...
