Customer Reviews

The Best Dance Album in the World EVER.
Although my taste in dance music is somewhat more populist (Propellerheads, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Red Snapper, Moby) this is by far the best dance album I've got. Dance to it, chill to it, drive to it LOVE IT!! An inspired mix of styles all created with great intellegence, even the sampled fillers have something to say. I can't really do it enough justice. Just buy it

The best album you've never heard...
Awesome is a word banded around far too often, but this unheralded classic truly is. A work of genius from Jack Dangers et al, Satyricon is still MBM's zenith, without doubt their finest to date.

Not as stark or industrial as earlier Meat-Beat's (Storm the Studio, Armed Audio Warfare & 99%), certainly more danceable than harder, more techno-orientated later offerings ( Subliminal Sandwich and Actual Sounds & Voices - but you should definitely check 'em all out), this is an almost perfect mix of dance, techno, mellow vibes, loops and samples, that still sounds superb 8 years after I bought it.......

Am I staggered that there ain't already a review singing it's praises? Yes!

Is it worth your hard-earned cash? Too right!

Now go buy..........

to explore, of course
my first brush with mbm came when singles 'mindstream' and 'edge of no control' were getting regular plays on the evening session, as well as reviews and it looked as though they might start to get the attention they deserve. sadly overlooked the curious nature of mainstream taste, but there ye go.
this was at a time when i myself was looking outside of the top 40. needless to say on buying this album it was like nothing i'd ever heard before, a myriad of sounds and ideas and quite an eye opener. the above singles are extrenely danceable and an industrial-style floor stomper respectively and the rest of the album doesn't disappoint either. best aside from that are 'euthanasia' and the brilliant 'placebo', but it's all good.
one more thing. its always a pleasure to either hear a line from a film in a song, or to watch a film or tv program and recognise a line from somewhere. i knew about the 'fahrenheit 451' and 'videodrome' references, and recently bought 'dark star' on dvd recently - was delighted to recognise the source material for quite a few samples here - the review title mispells explode, but you get the idea, right? as mbm sampled two david bowie tracks and two lines from hellraiser (hilariously juxtaposed) in the space of one song, you can take it they know what they're doing.
