Right, we were going to have something else as SoTW this week but due to various things I thought Ministry [ITMS], End Of Days Part 2 [ITMS] form the album The Last Sucker [ITMS] would be much more apt, mainly for the last bit of the whacking great big sample it uses (most of Eisenhower’s farewell speech):

Now I am to become a private citizen
I am proud to do so
I look forward to it
Thank you and goodnight

This was actually the last track on the last studio album by Ministry [Wikipedia] so is somewhat of a ‘goodbye’ track. Rather apt if you ask me. This SoTW is dedicated to the UBS Gamesoc guys

Today’s little ditty comes from Dulce Liquido [wikipedia] which is, it has to be said, an acquired taste so I wouldn’t rush out and buy the album unless you’re really, really sure (You’ve gotta love genre names like Agrotech, and my favorite, Terror EBM) Anyway, Under the Silence [ITMS] comes from the album Shock Therapy [ITMS] and features a rather cool end verse that I find to be to my taste (musically more than lyrically before you all start analysing me). You can check out some similar stuff over at myspace, although the tunes they have on there at the moment are a lot more monotonous (Antichritianos is the best on there at the moment)

The nightmares are pursuing us
They are under the silence in dreams
Their cruelty is part of their pleasure
You’re in fear, screaming in fear

Since Cat is probably not in the right frame of mind to be listening to depressing FLA tracks I present her with an alternate track to listen to: the KPMG corporate song. For those thinking it’s a little lame there are remixes to be found here and here (for a very silly version). Beware, much cheese.

So this is something speardave and bathgirl used to do via email, was then moved over here and, due to technical difficulties is being moved with yours truly. Expect bands you’ve never heard of (and links to Wikipedia, iTunes Music Store [ITMS] and YouTube to help edumacate you)

Right, today’s little offering is from Front Line Assembly [Wikipedia] who have been a favourite of mine for a while. I’ve owned the album Millennium for a while now but have never really tried any of their other stuff as I knew that it was a departure from what FLA normally do, however, I decided to give Tactical Neural Implant [ITMS] a go as it’s supposed to be their seminal work. Compared to Millennium, Tactical Neural Implant is just a bit weak for my tastes. It’s not bad, per say, however, it just never gets going. That said it does have Remorse [ITMS] which is an absolutely blinding, if rather depressing, track.

We once had a passion
It all seemed so right
So young and so eager
No end in sight
But now we are prisoners
In our own hearts
Nothing seems real
It’s all torn apart
