Airbus vs. EU, Toulouse vs. Strasbourg, Punish Yourself vs. Sonic Area. A collaboration between two children under the same industrial umbrella, but in two totally different styles. Experimental vs. Cyber punk. This project begun last summer and now they have finished their first full length album at their own label Geisha Machine. If you mix Punish Yourself with Sonic Area, the result will be in the experimental way.

The major part of the CD is slow, dark and sometimes almost beautiful, like "There is no way out but down", "Ich-bas" and "I had orders" which gives me associations to both Nine Inch Nails and movies by Jörg Buttgereit. Beside that, you will also find influences from Delirium, Legendary Pink Dots, Foetus and something from Skull Island. By the more rhythmic tracks "Power Cut" and "Twisted Thrill Ride" are the favorites.

"Obedience channel part 1&2" gives a picture of all the rubbish media throw on us, and "Dead idols island", a collage of voice samples from dead people like Hank Williams and Curt Cobain. None of these tracks will ever be the reason why I put on the CD, they are probably interesting from an artistic or political view but not much more than that.

This CD offers a huge range of creativity, most people will find something they both like and hate. On this CD you will even find saxophones, which can causes problem for some people, but after a while it passes through even for me.
