First studio LP by industrial classic SPK (after the live album At the Crypt) is somehow an introduction to their famous Leichenschrei [as Socialistiches Patienten Kollektiv] - the 'weakest' noise-explorers are easily discouraged by this album. Disturbing noisy power electronics improvisations with a well-hidden germ of melody are the clue of Information Overload Unit [as System Planning Korporation]. Though, some of the songs show the post-punk inspiration of SPK - like the second track Suture Obsession with a bass guitar on the first plan.
