Pronoise tried to blend EBM with Industrial and darkwave and post-punk. And even before this starts I think this is the issue, to many styles, not enough content. The opening track is one haunting piece with vocals that sound like Genesis P-Orridge, before we enter track two “Esther” that’s distorted guitars far too controlled and the drum machine far to high in the mix for this to be a punk track, and not industrial rock enough to be that, and missing all forms of darkwave that were present in track one.

"Hunting", has a harsher, more aggressive feel to what could be a Xymox track, but that doesn’t work, because the mix is again wrong. The drum machine should not dominate. And because of this you are left feeling that too many things are competing for the centre.

“A Heaven” begins with a long cold swirling wind and occasional bass note before a guitar plucks it’s way to the fore and we are in a world of low grade gothic rock and cyber punk. But it still all sounds stilted and that is what’s inherently wrong. What should be an industrial rock album is trying too hard to be everything else.

Five tracks in and I’m skipping to the final, and previously unreleased track, and I’m left nonplussed: throbbing bass pulses, with drum machine and in the background a distorted guitar and vocal.

This whole album is disappointing. We all appreciate bands have a variety of influences, but it’s finding your niche, your area and your voice that makes a band stand out. Sadly when you are pitching up across four different genres and staking a claim the listener is left bewildered and a little cheated. This should be the demo that the band works on: honing and sharpening those rough sketches to become the finished album. I can’t really see why this was given a release slot in 1996 let alone re-issued in 2016.
