Although I'm not sold on the "Organic Industrial" tag affixed to this one-man cyber-riot- seems like organic industrial would sound more like a bad day at the zoo, or a drunken Luddite party, than the slinky rocktronica on display here; but Peter Blackwell, the man behind the face full of tiger stripes, is most definitely onto something. Glass Eden is a glossy, smoked windows and shiny chrome ride through the circuit boards of some sinister city at night, with lust, murder, and salvation creeping in and out of the mind's eye in rapid succession. Hard to nail, nine inch or otherwise, just what the principal inspiration is for these songs, since they shape-shift like moon-sick wolves without notice or apology- depending on where you come and when you leave- you'll here shades of everything from Ministry and Skinny Puppy to 80's glam metal, Prince, The Hood, and even a few spurts of cyber-thrash. Sometimes this works perfectly- opening track "Give Up' sounds like splatterpunk era Shotgun Messiah- Stuttering drum machines, flash metal riffs, distorted vocals, the whole bit- and I could listen to that sound for hours. On the other hand, on the other end of the album, after burning through several razor tipped neo-metal tracks, there's the syrupy "Goodbye", which sounds like a Bullet Boys ballad, and might get you beat up if you're playing it in your car on the wrong side of town. This album is like a synth-happy radio station switching formats around at 3 AM, trying to figure out what works. Me, I like the bad ass digital vampire songs. But you knew that already.
