    I'm in complete agreement with portions of the above review. Zoth Ommog produced some of the best industrial dance tracks ever. I particularly enjoy some of the Razormaid remixes of these tracks. They are best heard on a quality PA system that has been properly equalized for its environment, although I prefer to listen to it sober. Huge subwoofers are a must; this is music that is meant to penetrate the core of your being. Don't imagine that you can know what industrial sounds like if you've never heard it on a big PA system. You can't, and those that have heard it will be at a loss to adequately describe it. It truly is otherworldly. I have never heard any mainstream dance music that comes close to the aural tsunami of industrial electronic body music (ebm). It's a shame that there are so few places where this music can be heard now. Concurrent with Zoth Ommog, there were also some other great industrial bands on the Celtic Circle label, such as yelworC, Placebo Effect, and Absent Minded.

      Sometime between 1987 and 1992 "industrial music" hit its peak. Bands like Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Laibach, Clock DVA and Ministry ruled the clubs and better college radio stations. This was strong, dark, powerful and otherworldly music - the type of music that rattles right through you. The Zoth artists had forged a new sound, which you can hear it’s effect even today, in many different styles of electronic and dance music. Though it’s dated, it still sounds GREAT, especially when you compare it to the weak crap that es for music today.

      The key to listening to Zoth Ommog music is listening to it loud as possible, in a dark room, while inebriated. Listening to Zoth Ommog music through head phones is a crime... it's just wrong. You need to experience the deep synthesized bass and pulsing beats. You need to share the screaming vocals and piercing, bubbling synths with as many drunken dancing freaks as possible, while your bones are shaking and you're loving every minute of it!

      Damn, I wish it was '92 again, if just for a day.
