Get ready to dive deeper into the chaos with IMPLANT's latest release, "The Chaos Machines Part 2 – Scratching The Surface". Following the success of "Part 1 – No More Flies On The Windscreen", this new chapter is available exclusively on vinyl (with a digital download), in two different colors: clear transparent and black. Each color is limited to just 150 copies worldwide, making it a must-have for collectors.
In "Chapter 2" of this conceptual trilogy, the chaos intensifies as the machines continue their relentless assault on a desolate Earth. This release features mesmerizing extended versions of tracks like "The Drive" and the chilling "Tales From The City", alongside the captivating electro-pop single "I Wasn’t There," graced by the lush vocals of NOEMI AURORA.
Combining old school EBM, groovy American Industrial, and melancholic New Wave, Jan D’hooghe and Len Lemeire transform dark moments into pulsating psy-trance industrial anthems. They seamlessly blend noisy chaos with melodic beauty, creating a dynamic and electrifying record evoking bands like NIN, KLINIK, JUNO REACTOR and other FRONT 242.
Like IMPLANT put it: "no boundaries, no compromises, only chaos and machines!" Let the machines scratch your back as you dance the night away. And remember: with IMPLANT, “if it doesn’t kill you, it will mutate and try again”. Don't miss out on this electrifying vinyl experience!
TRACK-LISTING
Side A:
This vinyl delves even deeper into darkness with new tracks such as the powerful and lyrically engaged single "Responsible", which channels the catchy 90’s dark electro vibes reminiscent of early-PROJECT PITCHFORK. I’m pretty sure fans will love the foot stomping beats and the great tempo! Don't forget to watch the clip and get the message behind this song!
It will mutate is a killer track, with Len who sings like on fire! Feel the beats, feel the tempo and let this track overpower you!
I wasn’t there (feat Noemi Aurora) is a nice duet, with great beats and machine’s on fire!
Tales from the city (vinyl version) is a much longer version than the original. To be honest: I prefer the original (more power I it: keep it short and simple and yet strong, that was how it worked the first time). The outro takes a bit too much time too.
Side B:
Why don’t you sin like me? (vinyl version) is clearly a dancefloor hit! This song is showcasing the sinister side of the machines as they eradicate humanity. It’s the best track on this one and I’m sure it will become more known!
The imposter syndrome is a nice up-tempo electrified track. Len’s voice is clearly in a good shape on this one.
Always on the run (vinyl version) has a slow tempo and roaring machines. It’s an ok song, but nothing more.
The drive (vinyl version) reminds me how good the original version is.
Well there are some high’s but also some low’s in this one. The Dj’s will be pleased, the old school fans too. For the first time in ages I feel the urge to write down Implant hasn’t really impressed me with this one and that makes me feel a bit sad as normally I always end with a positive not when I review anything coming from the Implant studio! Maybe next time?
