Icon Of Coil
Machines Are Us
July 4 2008 will see the Re-Union of ICON OF COIL! IOC are/were: Andy LaPlegua (now COMBICHRIST / SCANDY / PANZER AG), Christian Lund (now NORTHBORNE) and Sebastian Komor (now ZOMBIE GIRL) and their gig in Gelsenkirchens Amphitheatre is their first live-gig in over 3 years! Perfect timing therefore for the much demanded re-release of ICON OF COILs so far last album (unavailable for almost 2 years)! Listening to Machines are us again, you get quickly aware that it sounds as modern, fresh and new, as when it was originally released (in early 2004!)! An electronic manifesto! The perfect encounter of innovation and tradition, switching from hard, fast futuristic industrial techno to pummeling dancefloor futurepop and melodic up tempo electro. 15 tracks of indispensable club electronics from one of the biggest names in Electro around! Even more than 4 years after it has been conceived, Machines are us must be acknowledged as one of the best albums of purest electronic / industrial sound: Unforgettable, catchy melodies, refrains, emotions and rhythms that never sound dated!
