Got a rather unusual cd in the station today. It's by a band called Cubanate and it's on Wax Trax/TVT. I threw it into the cd player and got a surprise. I think it is the first attempt at meshing industrial with drum n bass. Now, I know your thinking well what about Digital Hardcore? Well it doesn't sound like DHR cause there aren't any hardcore speed metal riffs or heavily distorted beats. Instead the vocals are distorted (much like Ministry/Skinny Puppy), but placed over rather straighforward drum n bass tracks. The result is pretty interesting and anyone that likes the two genres should definetly check it out. The album is produced by Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly/Delirium fame. So far track number 2, "Isolation," seems to be a standout track. I don't think that this album is indicative of what the next Nine Inch Nails record will sound like however. The album doesn't use elements of jungle, but rather uses it as the foundation for every track. ario P.S. Somebody post a review on the new Boards of Canada or the Caustic Window! _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
