eleven years ago, Industrial - Various Artists briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Telephone 529 (Musicology)”. Since Industrial - Various Artists last CD (Artificial Intelligence 1) on Capitol Records back in 1992, I have felt a massive void in my life. Since completing 1992’s ‘Polygon Window (The Dice Man)’, Industrial - Various Artists fulfilled their contract with Capitol Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Telephone 529 (Musicology)
Telephone 529 (Musicology) is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Crystel (Autechre) is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. The Clan (Iao) is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. In De-Orbit (Speedy J) Industrial - Various Artists spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Preminition (Musicology) is probably one of Industrial - Various Artists’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. This track is full of harmonies and gets Artificial Intelligence 1 off to a relaxing start. Fill 3 (Speedy J) is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Some call Loving You (Live) (Dr.A.Paterson) from Artificial Intelligence 1 as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen.
