Control Resistance - 2010 -video

[Litharge]

Maybe Control Resistance can reunite and go on tour with Barzel.  It wouldn't quite be "Ebony and Ivory," but more like Swarthy and Ivory...

I must say that I agree with Nidding for the most part.
And I think that by traditional he was meant to say standard (for a "right wing" project, of course). In fact, the lyrics (yeah, LYRICS) on this song (yeah, SONG) are far away from being thoughtful. It´s just like hearing a punk band scream "fuck the system" or a metal band singing "worship satan": it´s way too simplistic and naive.
Despite that, the music is really nice.

IR has already re-released the "Nihilist Assaultcore" album that this Control Resistance track comes from. It's more nicely lo-fidelity than "Declaration", although I'm curious to know/hear how much re-mixing went on the tracks for this new anthology. To my ears, "Deprogram-Reprogram" has a nicer, more sinister feel to it than "Declaration". This, on the other hand, seems a bit too digital-sounding and crisp, for mine - I assume this is an example of the "industrial-metal" Mikko warned about. It sounds well constructed but too pretty.

It's horses for courses but going by these few examples I'm assuming it's going to be a patchy release - probably unavoidable since it's a collection of disparate pieces, presumably over a period of years. Perhaps another reason why the project has been forgotten by many?

Does anyone know what they were like live?

I myself am thoroughly impressed with your presence and status here at Special Interests as the self appointed intellectual elite. You claim on one hand NOT to be offended by the views expressed and turn right around and contradict yourself by referring to the content of the video as rhetoric? Not very good at masking your own rhetoric and exposing your true intentions. The recording simply and effectively expresses a vile yet almost completely censored truth in the world today in a video that is clearly unmatched in this miniscule genre of P.E. and you assign yourself the authority to critique it. What exactly are YOUR credentials? You refer to the political content as "used to death" as if there is some undiscovered pathway to effectively change the opinion of the brain dead masses through Power Electronics. The video in question is hardly a campaign advertisement for the presidency of the United States. I'm sure according to your insight the intent of the creator was to magically change the world perspective on Jewry with a video that targets an almost microscopic portion of the human population. As we all well know Power Electronics is likely to be the next big pop culture sensation. You also give us another clear glimpse into your own profound intellectual depth and wisdom by referring to the message as horrible lyrics??? I certainly don't consider Control Resistance music and hardly consider the words and message to be lyrics. If you are looking for "inspired" lyrical content you might try listening to "Stairway to Heaven" again or in your case maybe some Bob "Dylan" (Robert Zimmerman). With a link in your comment to such useless and degenerate drivel such as "Alleypisser" you must be one of two things- a talentless and frustrated enthusiast or simply another slithering Jewish troll attempting to defend your sick and filthy tribe of parasites? 

Please take your premature FMP trolling elsewere, this is not that kinda forum

Perhaps the rant to defend band isn't really necessary, but I think this is actually pretty good line:

I certainly don't consider Control Resistance music and hardly consider the words and message to be lyrics.

It is often seen when bands are attempted to value outside their context. Like "they are not very good musicians", "lyrics are really cliche" or such. Yet the aim of band was never to offer musical experience to be compared with groovy rock'n'roll or noble prize worthy lyrics. Control Resistance clearly presents like industrial version of wp rock'n'roll. If you put dozens of greatest wp rock bands in line, they are in absolutely another league than most of musical entertainment offered by regular rock bands. 
It's like comparing fistfight and ballet. You can't expect the noble elegance, when you'll be only served brutal assault. It will be the same old fist it always was, resulting the same old nosebleed there always was. It ain't art, yet someone always tries to measure by such standards. Some people just like fistfights, others dancing. Some can handle both.

[Andrew McIntosh]

The issue here is the same issue that PE always faces; how it is perceived as opposed to what it's intentions are. Any opinion is valid, and that applies to ballets as much as fist-fights when one is in the comfortable place of spectator. Which is why starting fights over who's opinion is more valid is not merely unnecessary, but in this case, outright trolling.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Of course, but one could say it about anything, not just PE? As I mentioned, that rant to defend band wasn't necessary (when even the harshest critic says he likes the stuff!), but the line selected from it was in my opinion good. Why:

I do agree everybody can have opinion, yet I would think it would underline validity of opinions, if opinions are informed even when being mere spectator?
There is very common idea that everybody has right to opinion, which is fine yet:

opinion is a subjective belief, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analysing the supporting arguments.

That's what I believe would be called discussion, what happens in discussion forums.

Supported by facts or supported by arguments perhaps being for example what are the artists intentions. And I guess the given quote nailed it quite well. What it aimed for and what it delivers. Of course one can choose to ignore this, and value it only based on what level I am personally entertained at this moment. Set the material on same line with whatever piece of art or entertainment, since it's your time you're spending. These opinions in such cases tell about the listener/spectator than the art in question?

I could mention for example being highly critical towards some noise bands, for farting out worthless albums in constant stream. And eventually description of "audio diary" is mentioned. It is revealed that it was never point to make albums. It was never intent to be something new and amazing. To differ from previous or say something specific. Just someones more or less private audio diary, which you choose to listen.  How critical can I be towards artists who is best in what he does, and succeeds greatly with his intentions? Is it wise to expect album worthy masterpiece, then get some random jam and be disappointed? His noise, is the diary. It's not rehearsed noble ballets or sweaty savage fistfights. After being revealed intentions or motivations behind work, it can be easy task to see value beyond just own entertainment needs. Up to debate, of course!

[ShillKill]

I am simply pointing out that the criticism in question is nothing more than a MASQUERADE and rather than remain silent while this person deceives the majority of readers I choose to point out the fact that I PERSONALLY am not fooled. The rest of you can discuss and define the guidelines of criticism and debate like a room full of criminal lawyers for another two weeks for all I care. Remaining silent and allowing everyone to be deceived by liars is practically the whole point of the video in question.

Sorry, no one is being "deceived". We all listened to the same track that the previous poster has commented on. There's no "wool" to be pulled over, just commenting on some PE. Please don't take yourself too seriously.

[FiEND]

Regardless of Zionist Occupation of our little board, I'll be getting this CD. Never heard of band until this thread, but all tracks posted have been very to my liking. THROBBING synth works especially.

[UGRA]

Isn't there any place free of truth-keepers in this world anymore?
"If you don´t agree with me, you are obviously one of them", pfff...
As simple as that:there is a few projects dealing with the same subjects that succeeds on being intriguing and thought-provoking, but C.R. fails on that field, imho. Good music, cliché slogans/lyrics.

Ok, so maybe I am more of a dance guy than a fistfight guy, heh!

=P

[Ashley Choke]

That being said. Nidding might be the most aryan guy I know, heh

Its the easiest Way to declare the Right Wing Ideologic to be true Idiotic to have one or Two such Statement Trolls in the Area. For sure most People who hear/read this "You are Brainwashed, You cannot Think Yourself, I'm/We are Only one who are Genius to see Behind all Matters ect ect" will laught a little bit, thinking of some Sexy Gay Neuschwabenland Ufo Soldiers and walk away.
