Interbreeding II: Industrial Mutations
Various Artists
BLC Productions
BLC Productions is on the way up. The latest in their Interbreeding series may not be on everyone's top ten chart but it should be on everyone's shopping list of dark electronic industrial. "Industrial Mutation," volume two in the series is a 2CD packed with many styles of dark electro.
With only a few recognizable names this will introduce many to the newest artists in each realm of industrial. Hocico, Tactical Sect, Diverje, Implant and Cubanate were the only names I recognized but many of the newbies also grabbed my attention. The first disc starts off very strong with a hard EBM track from Kubikzahl followed by a slow and heavy dirge by Generated X-ed with the sampled mantra "trying to put danger back in rock and roll." The main stand-outs, great for at-home or in-club thrashing of the bones, include The Pain Machinery's remix of "System Error," Run Level Zero�s �K.A.D.O. (blatant mix),� Stark�s �Exquisite Pain (lust remix),� Injury�s �Incest (Pulse Legion Remix)� which adds a touch of electro-clash sounds to its EBM foundation, Skoyz�s �Dark Energy,� Void Kampf�s �Electric Body Jesus� and Centyl�s �Fifth Metacarpal� a fine cut-up style power-noise track.
While most would work well on the dance floor there are a couple of dark almost ambient style tracks, like Liquefaction�s �Cascade� which smooth out some of the collection�s rough edges. And remember the majority of this material is exclusive or previously unreleased.
