Blood Meridian is an album that alternates between hard and soft, and not all of the tracks contain vocals. In fact, the majority of the album is instrumental. That doesn't mean it's any less powerful. On songs like "Desire," the usual scathing scratch of industrial music is present. But on "Alien Hand," an eerie, almost downright spooky, collection of sound effects put to a dark electronic soundtrack makes you feel like you ARE being abducted by aliens!

This is a wonderful and original work of electronic art. Be nice to yourself and get this one.

Numb has three full length CD's that I am aware of. This is the darkest and finest of all of them. The album flows from one piece to the next very well. It is intense, dark and fuzzy electronica. Much better than any Cleopatria recording I have heard. I would have liked to heard more from this band. This record is great but be forewarned, there is less to dance to than on Wasted Sky or Language of Silence. Awesome spin!

comparing this album or NUMB to anyone/thing else seems to miss the point all together. what is the point? listen and i'm sure you will find out. intelligence. art. these guys had something seriously going on... and it wasn't three-cord progressions for the radio, nor catchy beats for the dance floor... though one can definitely move to this album (on the dance floor)physically and especially intellectually.

enjoy.
