Life In Sodom

The Physical Being

Life In Sodom

A very interesting ethereal, techno-gothic EP. The title song would make a perfect soundtrack to a long night’s walk down a city tunnel. I’m reminded a lot of very early English electronic dance music (e.g., Depeche Mode, etc.) which included plenty of wobbly organs and gloomy vocals. Their cover of “Thunderball,” though, is really inspired. It’s a slow electronic piece that really needs to be heard late night in the city, while walking home in a light summer rain. Really! Life In Sodom will provide great background music to an otherwise mundane urban existence! Try it in your Walkman! lifeinsodom@juno.com.
