Free Music Notes for SunnypsyopFree Music Review: Kick ! Hit: 5 Stars
Ohgr, the pairing of Nivek Ogre and Mark Walk, have made another fascinating album. This is top shelf stuff, folks. Oh the attention to detail these two permeate with each track. Their sense of execution is an awesome testiment to what can be done with todays array of instruments. They create a weaving of such synthetic magnitude that one is left wondering if there is no end to their imaginations.The lyrics are pure Ogre. Very insightful, bitter and sober sentiments of our current state of affairs in AmeriKKKa (ooops, my K key sticks sometimes). I appreciate the raw aggression aimed at the establishment. Kudos! Although, some of the sounds in the songs may sound a bit played (distorted lead synths) they do help to create a cohesion throughout the recording. The programming is amazing, frantic and entrancing. Don't play this for your mom if she isn't hip to Skinny Puppy or Ohgr's last work. I personally would spare my mom to the electric onslaught. She has a hard enough time listening to my noisy music I make. Buy it, OK? and get Welt if you do not have it... wowsers...
Free Music Review: 5 1/2 Star Quality Industrial here Hit: 5 Stars
After discovering the newest Skinny Puppy album 'Greatest Wrong of Right' I found out their side project 'Ohgr'. I think this album, the other Ohgr album and the newest Skinny Puppy is some of my favorite industrial work of all time.
The tracks are extremely catchy and often repeat in my stereo as by the time I finish the album, I want to listen to the first song all over again.
Some of the tracks on this album are a little boring for me as they're not as innovative but my tastes are extremely picky. To find a CD with even 3 songs I like is a rare find, and this is one of them as there are at least 5 songs I need to re-listen to all the time.
The hidden track is very interesting as it's one of the beats that you can tell they were toying with but never got it to sound like a true Skinny Puppy type song as it's a little silly. IT's enlightening to hear some of the work that Skinny Puppy plays with and wish they would include more of these misc tracks on their albums.
Free Music Review: The new industrial is all synth pop, but good synth pop Hit: 5 Stars
Oghre: "Welt" and "Sunnypsyop": This is basically a part of this new breed of hi-fi industrial crossing over into somewhat synth-pop territory...by that I mean comparable to the newer Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, and to some small degree even Marilyn Manson's recent work, though "Welt" exhibits traits that might make it welcome as some kind of rave alternative in dance settings...very electronica based though miles away from any dumb techno crap...most of the songs have chorus-and-verse structured lyrics so they flow like a kind of rock/dance hybrid...clearly industrial but it takes some work to see the Skinny Puppy in it initially..."Sunnypsyop" is similar to Welt, except it has some moments where it indulges in "noise" whereas Welt has purely funky beats basically start to finish...Best quote from Welt: "...still sucking life from the mainstream...you think your evil but your not..."...just buy it...this guy needs your money...
Free Music Review: It's not supposed to sound like Skinny Puppy! Hit: 5 Stars
Ohgr singing? Singing choruses? Yes! Another fantastic dive into the cess-pool of Ohgr's warped mind. Mark Walk has a knack for tweaking the most out of Ohgr's voice, using every vocoder/pitch corrector effect in the book, and then some. These are not the audio collages Skinny Puppy fans are used to, but instead are structured songs, and these songs, believe it or not, have hooks! The vocal lines/choruses of "HiLo", "Jako" and "Watergate" are ultra modern, and the melodic noise hooks of "Majik", "Chemtale" and "Dog" hint at latter era Skinny Puppy. There are even a few noise sections to annoy your "normal" friends with. Although the music isn't as nightmarish or chaotic as a Skinny Puppy album, it's originality and futuristic sensibility should satisfy old school SP fans as well as draw in new industrial/electronica listeners.
Free Music Review: The New "Industrial" Hit: 5 Stars
Ohgr's "Sunnypsyop" is great..... This album marks where the industrial genre is going. Though this album is alot different from the first one "W.E.L.T.". I have to say the songs don't have that "Hook" that the tracks on the first cd did. But that doesn't make a difference. the album is so obscure that you have to hear a couple of times to pick and choose your favorites even though it;s hard because they are all good... please FORGET MARILYN MANSON AND NINE INCH NAILS... nin is good.. but industrial has evolved.. It is Ohgr, Ministry, Foetus, and Skinny Puppy (soon to come). If you are an industrial fan pick up this cd and get Cevin Key's "Dragon Experience" and Phil Western cd's.. And you'll appreciate the undustrial/electronic genre all over again....
