Wax Trax Days

This was definately one of the stand out albums in the Wax Trax days - loved the album and still listen to this Industrial original from time to time. This album was maybe not the first Industrial album, but was for sure one of the best that gave the genre it's name and keeps it alive.
EBM, Industrial, RivetHead, WHATEVER, it's still a watershed album...

One of FLA's finest, this and Tactical Neural Implant would be the ones that I would recommend to anyone who could only choose two of their albums. No Limit, Digital Tension Dementia, and Big Money are (slight) standouts in this outstanding (overall) album. *Whatever* genre you choose to call it, this and TNI defined the FLA sound for me in the late 80's. Definitely don't miss out on this one. . . and do yourself a favor and grab the whole album. The more atmospheric tracks serve as a nice sonic buffer between the more beat-driven tracks.
great dark electronic music I have to agree NOT industrial

In early 80's through present day- any electro music way off center like FLA, Front 242 , Nitzer Ebb (with Skinny Puppy being a slight exclusion)- were labeled Industrial- they were not- even in old computer and music mags that interviewed them they called themselves Cyberpunk music- maybe even electro-terrorists via music! If you want REAL industrial music- one must get music by Throbbing Gristle , early Cabaret Voltaire (Lving Legend , Mix Up) , heck even Premature Ejaculations,early Brighter Death Now,Blackhouse to name a few- but TG are the God-fathers of Industrial. Monte Cazzaza coined the term; "undustrial music for industrial people" was how he called it- this is danceable off center electro music! In my humble opinion- in the "2nd wave" of industrial- even there only one band is worthy of the title- Skinny Puppy. They at least have a touch of the old- but took it to 21st century standards of horror! Severed Heads- always a electro dance 80's sound-not industrial!
Good record, but not industrial

Definitely one of the better FLA records, no doubt. But please, stop calling this industrial. Dark, electronic, rhythmic based music, yes...but, NOT industrial, and certainly NOT one of the original industrial records.
must have

This is one of the ORIGINAL industrial albums. This is, without a doubt, one of the best industrial albums of all time.
