Category Archives: No Comment

As requested by Luie the Psyquil-Sampler cassette. A compilation of two tracks each from ten bands from the Rhein-Neckar region of Germany. Among the most immediately appealing features are No Comment (with a catchy, insistent fusion of Front Line Assembly and modern Depeche Mode), the tight guitar and synthesiser chugging of Nachzehrer and the punchy percussive energy of Planoforce. Echophrasia deliver a largely unintelligible but catchy song about a fallopian tube (plus a weaker piece about eye-eating), and other pieces of various degrees of quirkiness are delivered by Charlottes Manie, B-Ha and Mülli Schokoladi. Ordinary Strange’s electronic-backed crooning becomes less ordinary and more appealing with repeated listening; LLoydt and Me are a sort of tuneful electro-goth Chris & Cosey, while Giants Causeway remain in the era of Joy Division. As with any compilation, not every track is a winner. Psyquil-Sampler was released on cassette + booklet by Psyquil-Records (psyq 010) in 1992.
