Album Notes & Community Reviews

Distancing themselves significantly from their early, abrasive power electronics, Graeme Revell steered the project into accessible, dance-oriented electronic music. 'Digitalis Ambigua: Gold and Poison' merges synthpop melodies with heavy EBM sequencing and lingering tribal ambient atmospheres. The transition proved highly influential, anticipating the widespread industrial-dance crossover of the subsequent decade.
