from the LP Confessions of a Knife…, Wax Trax Records, 1990When you look over the entire 30 years or so of musical output which falls under the label of “industrial”, it can be a bit dizzying and, ultimately, a problematical task to try and find a common thread which ties everybody together. One thing that certainly crops up in industrial music from every decade is found sounds or samples of things like television or radio; at this particular point in the late ‘80s – early ‘90s, industrial music had adopted a very pop-oriented underpinning which might have made many early experimental-industrial artists cringe. I love it however, and the more twisted the better, which TKK do extremely well, including everything but the kitchen sink in this mix: screaming, maniacal laughter, evil processed vocals, backmasking, homicidal threats, and a really dark sample rollicking through the entire track, “…I live for drugs, it’s great, it’s great…I freaked out very very badly, freaked out, on acid...I live for drugs, it’s great, it’s great…I’m the white rabbit…”
