The new tape ep sounds great.  Too much of Vatican Shadow is mellow and uninteresting for me, but this is sharp and hard-hitting for just the right amount of time.

k.p.g

It sounds like Dom was listening to some 80's Chrome when writing this stuff!

I gotta return what I've said. Electronic City is really good - sounds as if the songs were composed in a Metal-ish manner, and could be pleasantly reshaped through conventional instruments. I agree that too much of this kind of music would render boring listenings, but the length time fits in just right.

This one.
Raw and primitive prurient.

yeah this shit is great. I like Prurient both in his most savage/raw form, as well as in more "emotional" works like "Cocaine Death" or bleak atmospheric stuff like in "Rainbow Mirror", which I bought in his original box-form (I regret it a bit, because I never listen to it entirely through all those LPs, but still it's an amazing album) and even the technoid experimentations of "Through the Window". I have a kind of controversial relationship with his music nowadays, on one side I consider Prurient one of the most eclectic and inspired artists in the experimental/extreme electronic panorama, on the other side his music is one of the main connections between extreme electronics and mainstream audience, if you know what I mean.
Saw him only once in Berghain and he made a rhythmic show (I was expecting a noise show, but well). This year is playing at the Tower Transmissions, let's see if I'll manage to go.

Diving into some earlier Prurient today with the Entrepreneur tape.  What immediately strikes me is the overt presence of teenage amateurism and reckless abandon at play.  Sounds are not really polished, nor terribly thought out.  A-Side even features a crazy drum solo/death metal yelping portion.  It is almost playful, as compared to what the project would become known for.  Still, there are signs of early brilliance that would later come from Dom.  Anyone give this era much attention (ca. 1999-2000)?  What are your thoughts?
