Details:
    I've been listening to KMFDM for a while. While that is all good, I knew of a previous member who had split off and started a few other band, one being Pig. But for w long while I never bother hearing anything by Pig. One day I tripped over a song called Painiac on scour exchange or something, so I downloaded it. Then I listened to it and it was really good. Still had the KMFDM style, but was different in a way I couldn't describe. So I downloaded some more songs, and then finally went to buy one. But of course, are any music stores going to carry this, of course not. So it was either cdnow.com or ebay. Cdnow sells CD's for $17.00; I found one on ebay for $6.00. So needless to say, I got one from ebay, and it happened to be the one with Painiac on it. It also turned out to be a promo, so a little added bonus there.

Now the style of music varies a bit on the CD. There are the typical german indutrial songs, as well as some softer almost all spoken songs, and then a few instrumental/mood songs thrown in for good measure.

Three songs in particular stand out. First up is 'The Sick'. It's very much like a KMFDM songs, but the female vocals are what brings it to life. The next is 'painiac', which I had already liked, mostly because of the energy they put into it. The final surprise song is 'analgesia' which uses piano musicand some amience to create a pleasantly haunting atmosphere.

This was as good of an album to start with as any. I'll be getting 'Wrecked' soon, so hopefully I will be able to compare.

Bottom Line: Caffinated KMFDM. Industrial fans will be sure to like it, and if you want to sample Pig, then here's a good starting point.

    ©1980-Y2K by Dann Thombs and Decemberized.com. Actually I don`t have it copyrighted, I have these imaginary lawyers guys who are all like "yo", he owns this stuff, so like don`t go taking it, or they lawyers will get all wu-tang on you, and then the voice dubbings will be all messed up and no one likes that. Um..I like made the design and I`m going to plug my site now, so go here and view the madness that ensues. There`s like some weird cartoons and some irc stats and logs. The logs are pretty funny because people act so stupid while they`re online, and never realize that it`s all being recorded and then posted on my website. Like one time this canadian got drunk and couldn`t even spell right. Like worse than normal, and it was just so funny but I don`t want to promote alcohol or anything, cause that makes you weird and stuff. Oh yeah, I showed this dude a picture of bostonchick from qcon, and he like kicked me out of the chat channel, but I guess he had a right, she was mad nasty annnnd she was drinking beer, so you see what that does to you. Oh and another time we were thinking of names for half-life 2, and I said Half-life: Won authorization failed, and I felt proud of me cause people liked it cause it`s like so true and stuff. But I haven`t had a problem with WON yet, which is good, since I don`t want to be blocked from multiplayer games because someone else did`t want to shell out the $50 to buy the game. That would be totally bad. But I have heard about people not being able to get one because their WON number got taken. But maybe they`re lying, but they try to get mine, and I`m like "no way dude" but they keep trying and ask why not and I have to put my foot down and say "I can`t" and stuff, but cie la swedish and they say. Silly swedish. Oh and channel #half-life is evil so like don`t go there, cause the people are bad, and ban people for any reason, so go to #valve on the undernet cause I`m there, and just say "hey dann" and I`ll say "hey there" or "sup" or something but you`ll want to make sure I`m there first cause if I`m not I won`t be able to say anything, but I think you`re smart and will be able to figure it out and stuff. Hmmm, guess that`s it, bye....
