Industrial Strength Anthologies

Vol. 1: The Lost Tracks / Vol. 2: Unleash the Brutality

TMC

The Lost Tracks features programmers like Machines (“Acid Storm”), disintegrator (“Dark, black, Ominous Clouds”) and DX-13 (“Decimate Intensity”) all of which are strange, electronic mixes that have a groove and a good beat. Unleash the Brutality is a two-CD album featuring the electronic torture of technicians like DJ Freak (“I Will Fight”), D.O.A. (“Unleash the Brutality”), DJ Narotic vs. U.V.C. (“Step Into the Pit”), and “Industrial Terror Squad (“We Will Never Forget”), emphasizes the “hardcore” of electronic programming and is the musical equivalent of Skynet. The second CD on Unleash the Brutality is a 40-minute remix courtesy Lenny Dee. For those of you who want to kill, this is the code. The Music Cartel, 106 West 32nd Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10001
