CD Feature/ Plastic Noise Experience

  Tobias

There seem to be some judicial troubles surrounding release „Noised“ by Van Richter Records... Kruse – P.N.E.‘s mastermind – declares the record as a bootleg and „calls his fanbase for a total boycott of this bootleg“.

Quite a strange situation, but since this compilation of old, yet unreleased tracks and the completely remastered album „Rauschen“ (1997) are available, we might as well have a look and a listen and ask, what’s inside this louche CD. The answer is simple: 18 tracks in the vein of the early minimalist work of Front Line Assembly and other old school pioniers of song orientated EBM-music. Which means that the majority of the tracks are kept in mid-tempo, the vocals slightly distorted, the sequencers pulsating monotonously. Nothing to fret about, nothing to get worked up about either.

All in all, the non-musical judicial argument about this record is much more interesting for the PNE-fan than the music inside.
