Background/Info:
This
compilation was already released a while ago, but is an interesting concept I’d
like to talk about. Distortion Productions and Electronic Saviors (industrial music to
cure cancer) joined together featuring the first limited edition EP in the
“Respect The Prime”-series: “Constructed Cold!”. The concept deals with bands,
which have been asked to pay tribute to the “Transformers”-comics books. They
all have to first read a story from the comics and next to compose a song about
it. This is a teaser to a full length album, which is in the pipeline.
Artists:
Panic
Lift, Tragic Impulse, ThoughtForm, Doors In The Labyrinth, Boxed Warning, Red
Lokust.
Content:
The
concept is original resulting in a rather diversified EP of 6 songs. From the
dark-electro and EBM driven Panic Lift (featuring Red Lokust), Tragic Impulse
and Red Lokust to the more bombastic-ambient instrumental piece of ThoughtForm
to the dreamy electro & guitar wave by Doors In The Labyrinth to another
instrumental track by Boxed Warning, this compilation has something to offer
for each of us.

The concept is great, but there’s also a few cool songs featured. The
collaborative efforts between Panic Lift and Red Lokust on “Constructed Cold”
are really successful. The Red Lokust song is worthy of examination as well
while Tragic Impulse confirms its growing status of promising and intelligent
EBM band. It’s also an opportunity to discover rather unknown names such as
ThoughtForm and Doors In The Labyrinth.

Unfortunately I can’t say that the bands I didn’t know have fully
convinced me, but let’s not forget that this is just a compilation featuring
one single song by each band.
Conclusion:
Some
compilations, especially with such a great concept, make sense!

bands: Tragic Impulse, Panic Lift feat. Red Lokust, Red Lokust.
