Being a noise / industrial / hardcore / heavy-beat driven fan of music, and owning a lot of CD’s from that style, I’ll say that this is right up there with bands like Converter, Terrorfakt, and S.i.n.a (minus the lyrics and hot German chick). This is a full CDr and I would have paid the HMV price for this one.
Noise usually begins the track then the build up of hard pounding beats begin, and these aren’t just mindless techno drums either, there is purpose with these beats and they don’t feel repetitive at all. In short, I don’t get bored listening to any of these tracks. To note: Track #2 (Polarity Shift), Track #3 (Enamoured Lover), Track #6 (Happy Kitties) and Track #13 (Life’s Glow Fading) are true kickers on this CDr and would have made great 7" singles on labels like D-Trash Records. The thing I like most about AIM’s style is his way that he builds up tracks and stays with it. He knows how to make music, it’s as simple as that, yet he uses noise blasts and distortion to his advantage giving us hard-heads something we all crave and a good excuse to raise hell when were done listening to it.
Something to note about AIM is a release by sLaYv AxiS - "Remixez V.1", which features remixes by Panzerdivision, Terrorfakt, and himself, to name a few. Good show. If you feel you’re the type that likes hardcore beat driven noise, and not the flower-shop Merzbeat crap, then pick this up. You’re bound to like at least half the CD, if not all.
