Toxic Excess | Chicago, Illinois | 03/31/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first bought this album at Chicago's legendary Wax Trax Records on the Roadrunner label - it was one of my "experiments." I used to go there every two weeks, fists full of fresh cash, and buy several albums I coveted - and over the years, this ended up to be very lucrative as I wound up with things that now sell for a fortune on eBay. After a while, I'd gotten into the habit of buying one item each trip that I was unfamiliar with but for one reason or another fascinated me - either the artwork, the record label's cachet, or a recommendation by the staff, who had gotten to know me very well. This was one of the latter and I've never regretted it. It's a fascinating album, a very early (and rampantly inventive) electronic feast for the ears, sung in three languages - and eccentric as hell! "Ave Apres Mars" is probably my favourite, but you'll be the judge if you ever hear it. Seeing as the album is largely undescribable, I won't attempt to here, but - Highly Recommended!!!"
