Unter Null - The Failure Epiphany

[karohemd]

How f*cking good is this album?
It's pretty damn close to perfect. Respect!
If you only know Sick Fuck and think the rest will be similar and samey as is the case with so many hard electronic acts, you'd be mistaken. I'd play any track off this album any time or even all of them in a row.
It might not be something entirely new but it's extremely well executed/produced and stands well out from the rather lacklustre recent releases of established artists of the genre (Combichrist, Suicide Commando etc.)
11/10

I thought it was a bit cliche and obvious in places which made the good songs stand out a mile.

You know what opinions are like.....

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Probably, but I can hardly sit still here. I might change my view after a few listens...
Good thing I'm almost alone in the office today.
Too bad I didn't bring my mp3 player (or have any speakers) otherwise I would be stomping around the desks. ;o)

I'll have to pass a link of this thread to missnull sure she'll be chuffed.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Feel free. :o)

Hey, you could play some during your set at the next SC. ;o)

[rivetmike.livejournal.com]

I was planning to, don't really want to drop Sick Fuck again though....

*flutters eyelashes and looks hopefully at blank CDs*....

When I've mp3d all of my new CDs, I can make a compilation on DVD if you like?

[faerierhona.livejournal.com]

oooh.. please! I am going to do the same once I get more blanks - have run out

[sogoth.livejournal.com]

You still need to come round for dinner some time and look through my CDs

[sogoth.livejournal.com]

I just got this as well. Damn fine CD; especially some of the mixes on the second disk.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I was an idiot and bought the regular edition. This will teach me to not shop at infrarot but go to the high street. :o(

[sogoth.livejournal.com]

Actually... I'll do you a swap; a copy of the second cd for a copy of the bonus disk in the last Grendel CD? I completely failed to register that one's release until the ltd version had gone

what's infrarot like for getting through customs without additional fees?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Erm, I don't have the new Grendel but you can have anything else on my recent list.

Never had any problems so far from infrarot and my orders usually amount to 150+ quid. I think it's from the US when you have to be careful.

[sogoth.livejournal.com]

sorry, I meant Prescription:Medicide rather than the recent EP. That one I have and love to bits :)

I may have to give Infrarot a try at some point

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

That I have. I need to search my archives for that, though which I can get to after I've tidied my place.
Currently, my CD collection is haphazardly distributed among five or so folder thingies as that was the most space saving option but when I took them all out of their cases, they just went in at random. I probably need a whole week to sort that out. :o(

[sogoth.livejournal.com]

That I remember. It took me months to get around to sorting mine properly. Then I had to take them all out of the carry cases again after a few CDs died. I've still not sorted the singles out of the carry case and that was well over a year ago :\

Thanks!!!

[missnull.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you!!!! This made my morning :) rivetmike passed along this link to me. I really appreciate it. Glad you like the album :)

Cheers

Hey, sure thing!
I shall inflict parts of it on the unsuspecting goths of Cambridge soon. :o)
