(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just picked this up and it destroys most other albums of the industrial noise genre. Especially for 1981, there was nothing else like it that I know of. Unlike most other albums that are industrial or noise in nature, this album has diversity. It's not just the same crap over and over again. It starts with the synth pop of All Night War Film and travels through the murky waters of melodic synth noise for the rest of the album, often sounding like if Kraftwerk scored a Jodorowsky film funded by Einstürzende Neubauten. Devo absurdness creeps in here and there. There are strange samples and natural recordings. The track Tarpon Pond is like nothing else I've ever heard, sounding like some unknown monster growling from the depths of an analog synthesizer. There's nothing else to say except that if you like industrial, noise, synth pop, or electronic music, you will find all of that here and often all together at the same time."
