R010R - Diagnostics EP


Tracklist:
1. Hypocrite
2. Field Mechanik
3. Brain Death
4. Peripheral
5. Human Circumference [FGFC820 RMX]
6. Brain Death [Lost Generation RMX by Brain Leisure]

Back to our roots we go. Here we have a good old fashioned aggrotech/harsh EBM/hellektro/dark electro (what the fuck am I supposed to call this anyway?) EP by a band called R010R, which I don't know how to pronounce. I suppose it's not pronounced R zero one zero R, so you're in the same boat I am, assuming you care.

The thing that caught me off guard about this EP was the thoughtful lyrics. Listening to FGFC820's remix of Human Circumference, I decided to actually listen to the lyrics. Instead of being about death, aggression, technology or dancing, it was about all the the things that make all of us human (I guess I don't really remember). R010R is here trying to not fall into the generic hurr durr of aggrotech lyrics, and actually bothers to give a shit about what they say! WoW!

But don't expect any Bob Dylan shit here. This is still industrial.

Anyway the music is really good and harsh and dancey so they didn't fag out by not dumbing down (yay). I recommend you download this, it's actually one of the better harsh EBM things I fell into as of recently.

Duran Duran Duran - Very Pleasure


Tracklist:
1. I Hate The 80's
2. Manrammer
3. Gaetan
4. Movies Unlimited
5. Hard Girls
6. Interlude
7. Pilldriver
8. Year Of The Monkey
9. Purple Passion
10. (untitled track)

OK here we have Duran Duran Duran. If what you're trying to find in life is meaning, or perhaps do something worth doing, or make the whole world better for all people, you are:

1. On the wrong blog
2. Probably going to fail I am sorry

But, Very Pleasure is here for those who don't really give a shit. I guess breakcore is for people who don't really give a shit. The songs aren't written, they're made. Obviously an 80's child, whoever the hell is behind DDD throws on another Duran onto the infamous Duran Duran and then proceeds to make loud obnoxious breakcore. Is there another kind of breakcore? Maybe, but who cares. Very Pleasure will hit the spot for anyone looking for some loudness, some chaos. Or for something to make your family members look at you funny.

In closing, you know how most untitled tracks, or hidden tracks, are usually either rejects from previous albums or garbage ambience? Well (untitled track) is actually a Slayer cover and my favorite song on the album. Party hard
