DESCRIPTION
compilation from DSBP brings the best in elektro industrial from the lands of Brazil and New Mexico! From hard aggro to trippy percussives to synthy cyber, 6 EPs in one CD! Front Runner gives 3 tracks of EBM dance reminiscent of 242 and FLA, diverje brings forth the intro to the new sound with awesome dancefloor remixes from Biopsy + Razed in Black and new original stuff as well taking a more elektro sound. Clone DT shows much more development in a brilliantly sequenced collage that actually becomes catchy and cohesive. 3 songs not to be missed. Inquest Proxy changes the pace of the album with a different style hybrid of what we have heard. Elektro wave / new age rock combined in these three completely different tracks from each other, a versatile musician. Dead Jump from Brazil is up next with some hard aggro crossover reminiscient of labelmates Biopsy but with melodic vocals. Two very catchy dancefloor tracks from this man, and finally in-FUSED wraps it up with a complete crashing of 80s and 90s new wave sounds. A more refined sound and staying in its own category. Together these 6 EPs combine for a full 73 minute album that is diverse enough to please any elektro industrial crossover cyber fan! Support the new revolution! |

Review 4/3/98:
"Digital:6::Focus:A" - DSBP Compilation
DSBP, short for whatever you would like it to be, is a label on the rise (check out this month's label profile). Late last year they released the new full length by Brazillian terrorists Biopsy, Cervix State Sequences; and the new compilation, entitled Digital:6::Focus:A, showcases the other talent on the label, proving that DSBP has more than one interesting band. Each band on the compilation, which is made up of three New Mexican bands and three Brazilian bands, contributes two to three tracks; much like an O-Files type thing, except covering more ground.
First up is Front Runner, a Brazilian man, whose three tracks mix classic EBM (ala Front 242), a little bit of Dassing brothers, and a fair amount of aggressive electro along the lines of Caustic Grip FLA. Great aggro-industrial.
Next up is DSBP resident psycho Tommy T. Raspiardi, this time in the form of diverje. His unique aggressive-electro style sound has been greatly refined since the release of his CD debut, Electrodiums/The Passage. On this compilation, we see a new track and two remixes, one by Biopsy (a great stomper) and another by Razed in Black (which takes song with RiB sounds in it, and makes it more RiB-ish; really cool). If this is any indication of the upcoming remix album, Existence/Program, the electro community is in for a suprise!!
Following diverje is Clone DT, a Brazilian picked up from the ashes of Cri Du Chat. While definitely original, Clone DT's schitzophrenic mix of quirky beats and sequences is hard for me to enjoy; it leaves me feeling slightly disjointed. This style of electronic music is really not my cup of tea.
[inquest proxy], the second New Mexican project on this compilation, creates quite a different style of electro than diverje. [inquest proxy] mixes odd sound effects with punk-style vocals and (non-overpowering) embedded punk guitars on "Threat"; composes an instrumental, Mentallo-esque piece for "Talon's World"; and creates a retro-electro piece with a political statement on "Condemned Nation". Stylistically different on every piece, but an interesting listen throughout.
The third Brazilian band, Dead Jump, shares the most in common with Biopsy. Dead Jump delivers a wonderful collage of spastic beats and odd keyboard lines, with less guitars and vocal distortion than their fellow countrymen. Both tracks are very good. Look out for the upcoming full length on DSBP later this year.
The final band is in-FUSED, Tommy T's bastard new-wave/industrial project. On this project, Tommy revives the eighties' new-wave style from an interesting electro view point. People familiar with his compilation tracks (on both of the excellent underground DSBP compilations) should have a fair idea of what to find on these two tracks.
DSBP is getting a lot of (well deserved) attention for the recent Biopsy release, and great compilations such as this one. I strongly urge anyone interested in what is going on in Brazil or New Mexico, anyone who wants a taste of upcoming releases on DSBP, or anyone interested in something different than a regurgitation of another electro band, to pick this Digital:6 up! Eveyone is bound to find something interesting on this compilation.
