Product Description

Album Description

Test Dept. was a highly influential electronic outfit which definitely helped create the still-thriving industrial genre. Their use of primitive drumming and monotonous waves of metallic noise meant that the group was unappreciated when the songs that comprise the compilation Ecstasy Under Duress were originally recorded (1982-1983). But listening to their work nowadays shows that the band was definitely on to something; they were just victims of the before-their-time jinx. The music is rabidly primal and earthy, which is quite an accomplishment since that's not what one usually associates with today's industrial rock. Since all of the songs are similar in approach and sound, it's impossible to pick out particular highlights; it sounds as if it's one long song broken up by flashes of silence. Still, fans of today's industrial sounds should really check out where it all originated.  Greg Prato (All Music Guide)

4.0 out of 5 stars とにかく恐い…, 2005/9/3
イギリスのインダストリアル・バンド、TEST DEPT.のLIVE ALBUMです。
97年のアルバムを聴いた時には、すっかりダンス・テクノになっていて唖然としたんですが、
初期のLIVEである本作はもう壮絶です。
「何が楽しいんだ?」と問いたくなる人は絶対たくさんいます。
SPKほど凶暴なノイズや、Cavalet Voltaireのようなテープ・コラージュは見られず、
金属を叩きまくるという行為に特別なこだわりでもあるのでは?と感じさせる作品です。
何人がかりで叩いているのかは定かではないですが、多分相当な人数がいると思います。
観客の声はほとんど聞こえないですし、何か危ない儀式のような、本当に異様な空気が充満してます。
電動ドリルの音なんかはやっぱり人によっては悪寒がするんじゃないかと思います。
自分は馴れちゃいましたが…
それでも多少のシンセノイズや、金属以外の楽器を演奏している場面も場面もありますし、
オーケストラのようなアレンジの6.の後半や、ミュージカル映画の挿入歌のような11.等、
野獣のような凶暴性だけでなく、ちゃんと理性と教養のある人達がやっていると証明してます。
逆にそういう人達がこんな音楽を作っていると思うと恐いですが…
