"When one listens to this record one has to realize that these recordings were constructed on a 8 track recording system which is quite primitive by todays standards so the sound is not as good as on the later recordings, i.e., TNI. When one considers this then one realizes that Leeb and Fulber truly are tallented muisicians since the sound is remarkable considering their limited budget and their shoddy equipment. Like the cheap vocal treatments are used in a very well thought out manner and the keyboard sounds have been carefully selected and sound as good as they possibly can. Some of the elements that they use on these early demos are still being used today by them, like the dominant baseline and their fondness for vocal treatments and vocoders. This is a very important industrial rock album and shows the humble beginings of a truly remarkable industrial band."
