Album Notes & Community Reviews

J.G. Thirlwell's first full-length release for a major label is a violently chaotic, overwhelmingly dense collision of industrial metal and manic big band swing. The incredibly aggressive, heavily orchestrated production seamlessly integrates frantic horn sections with abrasive guitar feedback and his distinctively cinematic, misanthropic lyricism. The highly experimental, deeply unhinged record stands as one of the most wildly ambitious and uniquely bizarre offerings of the mid-90s industrial scene.
