captures the futuristic sounding of industrial music with its rapidly Programmed Drum beats, eerie sound Effects, and the bombardment of musical and spoken word samples creating the sense that the listener is experiencing a multimedia musical event.The music and lyrics are both extreme, which is par for the course in the aggressive industrial metal genre." -Retroactive Records Out of print for over a decade, this classic comes back to us digitally remastered and limited to 1000 units. For fans of Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Prong, Argyle Park, Circle of Dust, Ministry and Klank.:BRAINCHILD: the one and only release by Scott Albert and Doug Mann under the moniker of Brainchild...Back in 1994 I picked up Circle of Dust - Brainchild and I thought it was great (I still have the CD to this day). Even then I knew that it was originally titled Brainchild - Mindwarp before the Circle of Dust title. I was glad to see that this has been remastered but I really didn't expect to hear different mixes of certain songs (telltale crime, prayers of a madman and deviate just to name a few) not that it was a bad thing though. Maybe this was the original recordings before this was released under Circle of Dust. Definately worth checking out if you're a fan.:CIRCLE OF DUST: I was recommended this album by a list of "best of blah bla" so I decided to try it - and was not disappointed. The drumming is the finest I've heard in a long time, and song composition/flow are excellent (rather than boring, repetitive, predictable, or pointlessly random and disjointed). The only thing I'm not particularly impressed with is the lyrics and vocals, but even still I find them decent - it could just be a matter of personal preference. If you are into any kind of industrial music, by all means give this album a listen! :DISENGAGE: Sadly the last album under the Circle of Dust name, but what a reign it was that Klay Scott held in what really is one of the preeminent underground industrial acts of all time. Klank is gone, leaving Klay by himself to bring his singular vision of mechanical ambience to life in what truly is the best Circle of Dust release. The previous releases showcased Scott's penchant for blending random samples from various film and tv sources with atmospheric and aggressive soundscapes. While the 1995 rerelease of the original album was a major improvement, it was still lacking in musical quality. "Brainchild" heralded such greats as the violent thrasher "Deviate," "Telltale Crime," and the "Agressor/Regressor" mixes. Now we have the final album "Disengage."
This album is excellent. More than that, it is the perfect industrial album. The electronics are pulsing, the melodies infectious, and the songs aggressive but personal. Did I mention melody? That is what sets this album apart from the past Circle of Dust releases. Without losing its anarchic underground edge, there is a sense of solid song structures that are approachable and listenable. This album is still heavy on the samples, but even with "Brainchild"'s seamless fusion, it is hard to imagine this album without them. "Chasm" and "Refractor" not only bear resemblence to past Circle of Dust, but the blending of the two in the single remixes attached as the second half of the CD is done with an ingenuity that Trent Reznor should be envious of. "Mesmerized" is a very poignant song that is both edgy and somehow radio friendly. It is by far my favorite song on the album. "Waste of Time," "Yurasuka," and "Blindeye" are great headbangers that not only possess driving rhythms and electronic ambience, but also contain elements of hip-hop vocalisation. And then there are the three instrumentals, "Babylon," "Thulcandra," and "Perelandra." While the latter two are similar in an atmosphere of decrepit imagery (they would not have been out of place on the "Quake" soundtrack), "Babylon" has a melodious horror that sends shivers down the spine of the listener, giving the feeling of being trapped in the wasteland of babylon. Basically, this album possesses something for everybody. There's lyrical genius, musical excellence, and industrial mayhem to go with it. "Disengage" is perhaps the best album ever to bear the label of industrial music, and is certainly an excellent closer to this chapter in Klay Scott's seemingly schizophrenic career (remember he produced Prong and Klank, and goes under many pseudonyms, including Argyle Park, and his current project Celldweller). May this CD find its ways to the ears of industrial music fans everywhere. Truly a great album that should not go ignored. This is freakin' amazing stuff. I've been following this 'band' for 8 years now and have all their releases. This is the best. Not as heavy as Brainchild (Mindwarp - whatever) as far as guitars go, but that aint a bad thing (Darren Dialosa's guitar style tends to make me fell sick after a while...). This is also totally superior to their first release (the VERY first one - I have not heard it since it was redone), but then if you have their very first release, Klay Scott asks you kindly to BURN IT! When I listen to this music, I can only hate the man - he does almost EVERYTHING himself! Guitar, Drums programming, keyboards, production... I do not know of a more musically talented person alive on this planet today! In general, Disengage eased up on the guitars and sampling and elaborated more on the electronica side. The result is intense, delicate but hard-hitting. This is an emotional man with the skill to unleash his anger, frustration and disappointment. The whole album is tainted with cynicism and sadness, but songs like Mesmerize will nearly make you cry. As to the content. Do not come looking for spiritual upliftment here if you are only interested in C.O.D bcoz they're "Christian". Scott's experienced disappointment in his Christian life, something only he knows all about and he doesn't disclose too much info on the subject either but it is all on Disengage. Give the man a break. Some of us feel pain more deeply than others. When someone can express this in a medium as well as Klay can, we all get to enjoy the creation of pure, refined human talent. I will be sad, however, if Klay Scott really has chosen to 'disengage'(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
