Leech Woman- Uncertainty Device #26573 (Wasp Factory)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

In which a whole lotta DJ types (Tarantella Serpentine, Noise Creator, Germseed, etc.) reinvent the crazed, bio-mechanoid tech-dustrial terror of UK’s leading murderrobot task force, Leech Woman. If you haven’t had the pleasure of freely freaking to the deathsludge superbeat of LW before, just think Throbbing Gristle getting blown to pieces by a pipe bomb, and yr on the right path. Here, the relentless wallop is sliced and diced into insect-like segments of creepy beats and deranged yelps. As Leech Woman are largely an ‘organic’ industrial band- meaning the sounds of grinding metal and sledgehammers on pig skulls really ARE grinding metal and sledgehammers on pig skulls- even the remixes lack the cyber-smoothness of their most digitally-minded counterparts, so it’s all jagged and difficult and head-fucking, and the only way you could really dance to this is if ‘dancing’ meant convulsing. Which it might, I dunno, I don’t dance. Anyway, if yer the type to call electro-disco what it is- DISCO, not ‘industrial- then yer probably smart and brave enuff for this ugly joyride. This, brothers and sisters, is the sound of rock and roll coming completely apart.
