Strategy Of Violence

awrc Oh, what a wonderful period when this was released, and it seemed like I’d hit Avalanche Records and find a new Leeb/Fulber album almost every week, scuttle back to my office, listen to it half a dozen times and have a review up on my web site within a day. Honestly, from 1990 to 1994 or so, it seemed they could do no wrong, had to constantly invent new projects so they could release it all. Great stuff, classic EBM. Favorite track: Kick To Kill.

DAS VILLAIN Maintaining their industrial/industrial dance/EBM 'street cred' while tapping into the 90s underground dance/rave culture, Stategy of Violence is one of Noise Unit's accessible but complex releases. I remember purchasing this CD back in 1992! It was great then as it is great now! Favorite track: Hollow Ground.

theprojectedman Prime Leeb/Fulber. They could do no wrong in '92. This easily stands with FLA's best (Caustic, TNI, FLAvour IMO). If you love TNI, you need this, and you should track down Intermix Phaze Two for the full picture. Favorite track: Hollow Ground.

about

Bill Leeb (Front Line Assembly, Delerium) started Noise Unit in 1989, originally with Marc Verhaeghen of Belgian act Klinik. The project was envisioned as an outlet for ideas that did not fit into Front Line Assembly and quickly became a favourite amongst Leeb's fanbase. After one album with Verhaeghen (Grinding Into Emptiness, released on Wax Trax), Rhys Fulber joined the band, and the three members produced Response Frequency in 1990.

Following this, Noise Unit became a duo with Leeb and Fulber at the helm. This incarnation created two spellbinding EBM records, Strategy of Violence and Decoder, both released as CD-only albums in the early 90s. The magic of the Leeb-Fulber writing duo is in full force on these records, an incredible knack for pure EBM, Canadian-style: driving basslines, steel-can drums, dystopian vocoded vocals, and spacy synth lines!

Now, for the first time ever, Strategy of Violence is reissued as a wonderful double-LP vinyl. The record is remastered, artwork is restored, and the entire set is housed in an incredible gatefold sleeve. What's more, Bill Leeb dug deep into the archives and found two ridiculously amazing unreleased bonus tracks, which appear only on this Artoffact Records edition. If that was not enough, Side D of the record includes a beautiful etching designed specifically for this re-release. A must have!
