There was a track (The Pain) on a recent Sonic Seducer cover disk which I played at my last Calling set and made me buy the album. It doesn't disappoint.

MNS describes it as "a firmly rhythmic, hard, static and cold EBM offering suffused with lush melody, clinical beats and vocodered effects" but I disagree almost completely. While it is darker, a bit harder and more distorted, it's not EBM but a lot more like classic electronica (Kraftwerk, Klangstabil, The Rorschach Garden), although not as minimal as the latter two.

The only thing that bugs me is the vocals. I can't quite put my finger on it, it might be his accent or just the delivery but they aren't quite right.

Still, a fine release that's away from the current average so give it a listen. The website has some samples.
