Cruor
Always interesting to listen to Allerseelen's early material and compare it with the more recent work. Gerhard (formerly known as Kadmon) has come a long way from the pounding, ritualistic, noisy experiments chronicled on Cruor. But as much as I enjoy the more musical qualities of later albums such as, say, Abenteuerliches Herz (with its diverse influences, from flamenco to pop to folk), there's something reassuringly raw and powerful about the early, more purely industrial music he used to make. It reminds me of why I began to enjoy industrial music in the first place.If you've been reading this blog (and I know no one has, really, and I can't blame them), you may be aware that I've managed to post every day since the beginning, back on December 15, 2006. Well, tomorrow will mark the first day without a Total Time blog entry. I'm off to Las Vegas for a weekend of debauchery with a few friends. Assuming I survive, I'll be back Sunday, when I promise to resume my pointless documentation of what I've been listening to lately. Will you know what to do with yourself in the meantime?
Also today:
65:05 Disharmony, Collapse
65:04 Einstürzende Neubauten, Strategies Against Architecture III (CD 1 of 2)
