Reviews
The latest compilation from DSBP, Cybonetix 2000, is the follow-up to the very successful, electronically diverse Cybonetix 1999 compilation. DSBP has a knack for finding quality underground electronic music and these great compilations are proof of that. While I don't enjoy every single track, there's always something good to be found on these discs. The highlights of the compilation would be Testube's "Exiled (Acadian treatment)" which fuses "clicky" IDM sounds and shifting tempos while remaining totally instrumental throughout. Diverje's "Suspicion" is like a kick to the head. Tommy T's vocals claw and dig under the relentless electronics which still give off a Biopsy-esque aggression, but seem more refined and focused now. While remaining totally electronically based (no guitars to be found here), Diverje still seems to relay an aggressive edge not found since the days of the coldwave war of the early 90's. Dubok's "It's Both Now" taken from their outstanding debut release "Immersed," is probably one of my favorite EBM tracks of the year and fits rather nicely among all the floor-stomping mayhem. Biopsy's "Sonic Suppuration (Tekno dub)" reminds me of what the Swamp Terrorist use to do on their singles, which is take a track, cut it up, manipulate it in every possible way and beat you senseless while you thrash around your bedroom like a maniac. Very entertaining breakbeat. With compilations of this nature it's not unusual to find a few bad tracks, most notabley Project Mercury's "Galvanic Skin Response," which sounds like Nintendo music, and Lateral Tensions "Burning Eyes," which has be at least 5 years old now. Since most of the artists are just starting out and finding their niche, these shortcomings can be overlooked and I'm looking forward to seeing how their sounds progress. Nice packaging, outstanding tracks from Diverje, Dubok, Testube and Biopsy should be reason enough to pick up Cybonetix 2000. DSBP offers a stepping stone for underground acts with the Cybonetix series and should be commended for it. What's a better way to show gratitude than by picking up this low-budget compilation from DSBP Records? - GunHed Wet-Works Electrozine - Electronic E-zine Site - http://www.wetworksezine.com/

DSBP is presenting another of their fine compilations and this time they need to be proud because this one is particularly good. Following its 1999 edition, Cybonetix 2000 shows an array of both new and well-established bands acting in the electro-industrial underground. There is Belgium's Ionic Vision with the skeletal and utterly classic EBM of Maschinenzukunft (stateside), a song that is only announcing promising thoughts for their upcoming new album. Angels In Agony have generated a lot of attention lately with the announcement of their debut-album being produced by Ronan Harris of VNV Nation; and the cold and danceable synthpop of the Trinity remix of One is only amplifying the buzz. The new track from the prolific Testube, Exiled (acadian treatment), is a colossal work of IDM carefully mixed with groovy electro showing that the duo is definitely moving in a technoid path. Other recognizable names include DSBP's owner project Diverje, who contribute a quite impressive work of aggressive electro with Suspicion; Dubok with the accomplished twisted electro-pop of It's Both Now; Biopsy with the nice tekno dub version of Sonic Suppuration which sounds much more like electro from the mother project Aghast View; and Strategy's Intelligence gets the Sabotage's treatment for a much common electronica result.
There are some worthy surprises as well. Run Level Zero's Terror to Substain is very good electro in the distorted vocals and harsh industrial-fueled beats genre and Destiny by Krushed Opiates is a good mix of heavy drum'n bass and industrial, hopefully without vocals. But Babel17 excels much more in this field than the late does, thick and gloomy atmospheres mixed with metallic and distant furious break-beats comprised the excellent Whore.
An interesting look at where current electronic industrial music is going, as well as a nice teaser for what is coming up for some band's awaited new releases; Cybonetix 2000 remains a great compilation. Plus, it is selling for about 10$, so you can get more for less.

This is a second in a series of compilations out on DSBP, and continues the excellent trend of mixing killer new music from unknown artists, with more established artists to present a brain blasting onslaught of killer music.
Included in this powerful compilation are tracks from the DSBP stable Ionic Vision, Diverje, Biopsy, Andraculoid, and Testube plus a host of other bands, many unsigned for a total of 17 tracks!! There are appearances by scene regulars Noxious Emotion, Lateral Tension, Dubok, Cydonia, and a host of newer bands such as Project Mercury (which is my project, I will admit), Apocrypho, Angels In Agony, Babel17, Krushed Opiates, and more.
The best part about is that it is solid, and I mean SOLID. Usually there are a few good tracks on a compilation, and lots of filler, and this is the accepted norm for industrial compilations. This compilation does not follow in that vein. Most tracks are aggressive and powerful, with a good showing of EBM and Electro across the spectrum.
If you're looking for a boost, and want some new music, this is a great one to grab. Selling well from DSBP @ http://dsbp.cx, and going for a budget price if I remember correctly. Help support the new guys, and enjoy your favorite bands.. buy this CD, its worth it! (and I would say that even if my project wasn't on the CD. :)

If you haven't had the chance to become familiar with Tommy T's DSBP record label this compilation is a good opportunity for you. For those of you who are familiar with the label this compilation offers some great new tracks from some of the best new EBM music available in the industry today. From the very beginning you know what your in for with Run Level Zero's "Terror To Sustain", an energetic, synthetic inhuman sounding track. This is followed by one of my favorite DSBP artists Ionic Vision who add an interestingly 'new wave' sound to EBM yet maintain their "fascist sounding" agressiveness throughout. The next track is a band I haven't had the chance to hear previously called Angels & Agony and they sound like they have a heavy VNV/Apop influence. Nice combinations of danceable EBM with a touch of synthpop to it but with a darker flavor. Pain Fetish follows with "Cold Fire" dropping the pace a bit with a heavy pounding reminiscient of experiments in industrial/EBM of the early 1990's. This track seems a bit misplaced for this particular compilation however this is soon made up for by the emergence of Testube with "Exiled". Testube always amaze me with their unique combinations of styles and experiments. "Exiled" begins heavy on the digitalia and "blips" with a steady rhythm, some nice additives and an unexpected melody changes. An experimental rhythm track to say the least. Next is "X" (aka "Mystery of Life") by Noxious Emotion mixed by hEADaCHE of Ceoxime. This remix has a slightly different flavor than previous incarnations of this track. Next, Andraculoid, heavily distorted, whispered vocals, much like a male version of Android Lust 'graces' us with "Incurable". This is followed by Diverje's "Suspicion", an energetc neurostimulant. For those of you who do not already know. Diverje is Tommy T's own project. Krushed Opiates follows with "Destiny", a mix of heavy drum kit, synthetic rhythm and vocal and guitar sampling to create an interesting 'EBM dub'. Here goes yet another sub-genre of industrial music (then again maybe not)! Babell7 take some yet unheard turns with Industrial/Drum-n-Bass/Noise/Subteranean/Dub with "Whore" taking this whole disc (and possibly DSBP) to new levels yet again. Dubok then takes us back to adrenaline with "It's Both Now" which begins a bit ethereal but then introduces some very nice EBM with semi-pop-like vocals, not the usual vocal style for Industrial/EBM but nice in it's own respect, a very smooth track. Cydonia then arrives with robotic vocals and pseudo orchestrated backing synths. Though dark, this track still has a good adrenalized energy. The backing vocals later added in the song are a very nice touch. It's like epic EBM! The saga continues with Strategy's "Intelligence". This is the voice of the computer! Following is Lateral Tension, a test of your senses. The vocals here are more insinuative than overt as the samples take lead (much like in some earlier Puppy). Influencial backbeats and rhythms. Not something you can listen to without movement. Illusive! After this, to make sure you're not dreaming Project Mercury 'galvanize' you back to reality before Apocrypho take you to "The Other Side", emotional automation. Lastly, Biopsy leaves with "Sonic Suppuration". Watch out for flying pustules as the body explodes! This track has lots of energy and adrenaline. Tommy's way of making you 'need' more I guess. Well, it worked! An excellent compilation for everyone's EBM collection!! TG "Thengore" Mondalf, IRB Music Subculture - http://rhythmus.net/
