Album Notes & Community Reviews

Defining the aggressive, stripped-down core of Electronic Body Music, 'That Total Age' is a relentless barrage of militant sequencing and shouted vocals. The album relies exclusively on booming, repetitive synthesizer basslines and crushing drum machines, completely eschewing traditional song structures for pure rhythmic physicality. It is a commanding, highly energetic manifesto that dominated the European industrial club scene.
