A difficult album to listen to

"A daring first album by SPK. Everything sounds manipulated and the instruments are not readily identifiable. I think the first four tracks are excellent (1. Emanation Machine R. Gie 2. Suture Obsession 3. Macht Schrecken 4. Beruftverbot), but the sixth through ninth tracks are a bit dull. The latter tracks do not work as well and sound unfinished. Perhaps the two best tracks are "Emanation Machine R. Gie" and "Beruftverbot." In short, a good Industrial album for those who like Throbbing Gristle and early Test Depatment."
