"Interbreeding: Industrial Cyberlords" CD
BLC Productions
Interbreeding, the latest compilation from BLC Productions starts with a concept, the idea of exploring the darkness that lies somewhere "between the quest for knowledge and the fear of the unknown." Once you get past this and the attempted graphic depiction of an alien-human mating session, the music inside is an excellent collection of dark music from many genres. This disc covers it all from the chunky, industrial tunes by Cyph4zero and Xiphoid Process, to the trance and P-TV influenced acid house remix of a Collide tune, to the strong EBM works of the Pain Machinery and Infekktion, as well as the ethereal/DCD tinged Swarf song.
Well worth picking up some of the immediate stand-outs on this include the extremely dance floor friendly Auspex remix of Diverje's "Broken," the power-noise dirge by Audio War titled "One Drug," and the strong guitar and synth work of The Sepia in "Polaris D." If you haven't already picked this up go get it now, if you already have it get ready as Side-Line is pairing up with BLC to produce Interbreeding II, which will be a 2CD collection sure to live up to its predecessor.
