SACRILEGE

JOE | BOSTON, MA | 01/04/2000

(1 out of 5 stars)

"CEOPATRA RECORDS SEEMS TO RELEASE A NEW TRIBUTE ALBUM EVERY WEEK AND WHILE IT'S GOOD FUN TO HEAR LEATHERSTRIP'S COLD TAKE ON PINK FLOYD OR ELECTRIC HELLFIRE CLUB TEARING THROUGH THE CURE'S KILLING AN ARAB THIS IS 242 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.MOST OF THE TRACKS HERE SOUND AS IF THEY ARE BORN DEAD, NO SPARK OF LIFE. ESKIMOS & EGYPT EVEN MAKE HEADHUNTER SOUND DULL. VNV NATION STICKS TOO CLOSE TO THE ORIGINALS. ELECTRO ASSASSIN'S DUAL TRACKS ARE PRETTY GOOD. THE REST SEEMS HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING.242 FANS SHOULD STICK WITH REBOOT, OR HEADHUNTER 2000"

Sacrilege, quite appropriate......

"I am a big 242 fan and I am quick to purchase any thing that has 242 on it but this album is as the title reads, a sacrilege. The sound on the album is flat and amateur, not deserving to be called a tribute album to the godfathers of electronic music. whatever you do don't waste your time with this one"

Ghastly...in a bad way.

"I have the sneaking suspicion that the year 1999 is the problem with this record, as much as the label. This is the tribute I didn't want to see, the last gasp of the old industrial scene showing why the genre had lost all it's original vitality by 99, following it's outright surrender to 909 acid house. Toward even that end, most of the acts on this record should hardly be producing tribute tracks...what are they paying homage for, obscurity? Ah, what I wouldn't do to see the early 242 hits from 'Geography' and 'No Comment' revisited by the current electroclash synthpop bands, who at any rate have much more in debt to 242 & EBM than the warmed (wormed) over Skinny Puppy supplicants here."
