5.0 out of 5 stars Confrontational, Experimental & Progressive Industrial dance, Oct 28 2003

By

This review is from: Satyricon (Audio CD)

Meat Beat Manifesto will seemingly always remain on the fringes of popular Dance music, with their output towering above most similar artists, but with an approach to music that will delight enthusiasts that purposely seek out their music, but never making that cross over to the mainstream. Not that this matters, as when it comes to beat Programming, Sample augmentation, and genre-crossing, Meat Beat are all in a league of their own. If you had to categorise their music, then 'Industrial Dance', would probably be most accurate. But once you heard the multi-layered, complex excess of "Brainwashed This Way/Zombie/That Shirt", and the fierce Industrial techno of "Edge of No Control, Pt. 2", it obvious there are not limiting themselves to just work to an industrial template. (Think "Music For The Jilted Generation" era Prodigy), and creatively still remain one of the most innovative dance acts ever devised.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Extrordinary Resonation, Mar 20 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Satyricon (Audio CD)

Greatness, magnitude, immensity, enormity, infinity, strength, intensity, fullness, importance!

I thought there were too many negative reviews of this CD, so I wanted to put in my 2 cents. This is an astute musician. The guy listens to what's going on. John Corrigan has always done great work but this one is consistently amazing. I would rank this work up there with all the composers that really took chances: Varese, Stockhausen, Subotnick, Mario Davidovsky, Hugh Le Caine, Harry Partch, Todd Dockstader, Iannis Xenakis, Pierre Schaeffer, Gordon Mumma, Oskar Sala, to name only a few. It's possible "Track 15" is the only authentic testament to John Cage in all of modern recording. This CD compares well to Sal Martirano's "L's.G.A." in astonishment level.

Of course, this doesn't say anything for people that only know MBM for some very decent grooves. This may not have the same effect as previous works, and marks MBM's departure into the soundscape composition technique known as "musique concrete".

4.0 out of 5 stars transition to mellower sound, Oct 12 2002

By

Bryan Erickson (Eagan, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Satyricon (Audio CD)

Meat Beat's most poppy album and one of its more uneven, this album signaled that the first, harsh phase of Meat Beat's career had ended. Instead, there are some attempts at zippy, popular dance-floor tracks like "Mindstream" and "Original Control" that are downplayed to appeal to a wider audience, but end up repetitive and mediocre, a disappointment from the creative originality of their earlier work. Underneath those products of compromise, however, tracks like "Euthanasia" and "Son of Sam" show the first experiment in what would become Meat Beat's new direction, with mellower but haunting sounds, roiling bass lines, slowly chanted lyrics, and a further evolution of their famous use of dissonant, off-beat counterpoints. Interludes, including entire tracks like "Your Mind Belong to the State," "Untold Stories," and "Brainwashed This Way/Zombie/That Shirt," are filled with a quirky postmodern assortment of spoken-word samples, often provocative and politically pungent, sometimes humorous, and always unexpected. Only occasionally, as on "Edge of No Control," does there appear a consistent, though still muted, carryover from their earlier work. Overall, this is a risky embarking away from their old work - and is definitely not the place to start for a first or second-time Meat Beat shopper. However, it also represents a refreshing break from a group that refused to rest on their laurels and remain content with a sound that had become well-defined over the four previous years. Their trademark quirky creativity shines through on much of it, making it a new dimension not to be missed for anyone who's already gotten hooked on a few of Meat Beat's other albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only for 'Original Control [ver.1]'
I do feel that the overall balance of the album is rather weak and too political to bear repeated listening, but I give 1,000 stars to the album for the track 'Original Control... Read more
