Raymond Watts of KMFDM glory creates another industrial rock-laden opus, which spits raw energy from the get-go.

Funker Vogt – Navigator – Review

May 26, 2006

As usual, the music is formulaic, but with every album, you’re never let down. The vocals continue to evolve into a cleaner sound, and the production is superb.

Accessory – Titan – Review

January 20, 2006

A cleaner electro style fused with hard EBM, but lacks noise-driven floor-pounders. “One Night” might be one of the most sexually-charged EBM songs ever.

Elements of EBM, trance, down tempo, and pop, lyricist/composer Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson, achieve an emotional depth by approaching each song as a scene.
