It was either an 80s flashback or an unannounced Wax Trax reunion in the XDU mailbins this weekend. And now sitting on my desk are the new CDs from Foetus, die Warzau, and Meat Beat Manifesto. I don't expect much from the Foetus disc, frankly. I'll always have a soft spot (in my head, no doubt) for ole JG but his output hasn't been what I'd call consistent over the years. On the other hand, I expect the MBM will be great. Dangers has been working steadily and turning out excellent stuff. die Warzau I just don't know. Their early 90s album Big Electric Metal Bass Face is one of the overlooked gems of the genre IMO. But this is their first CD in 10 years and that's not usually a good sign. We shall see... Before I can start on those I've got backlogged albums by Shantel and Luke Vibert to get sorted out.
