@jenniferrigby : In 1968, Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring. This message was broadcast as a call for help. "Please let the whole world know the truth".
No help came.

Very powerful, certain parts of the song give me goosebumps. Very much like an ambient TG song, but the lyrics actually are lyrics with a point/resolution, unlike TG's primarily meaningless samples. I'm not knocking TG, i love the way they create ambience, this just has more meaning IMO that's all.

wow.. that was moving. Extremely powerful and the percussive element formed amazing and lasting imagery.

It's quite pitiful to debate SPK vs Test Dept they're both important parts of industrial canon. SPK did in early interviews slag off test dept for copying them and neubauten, but I think that was mostly a way of positioning themselves, And that was before the metal junk funk, which came after SPK's greatest groundbreaking records. Years before Revells Hollywood career. So yes. Integrity they had. But I love Test Dept as well. Silly to choose one or the other.

I agree about the movies but
Signature idea the percussion, don't make me cry!
They could'nt play for shit!
Stick to the Gristlizing!

Best album off Test Dept ever ( I think)....and yeah this is industrial....

I saw these guys live in 1988 (around the time of this album) with the Rotterdam Dance Group. Awesome. It was at the exact same time (to the hour) that my country was playing and eventually winning the finale of the European football championship. I made the better choice going to see Test Department.

great stuff.
A most important group to understand the fundaments of post-industrial and post-modern era of music; with its conceptual, minimalistic and experimental proposals, Test Dept. contributed to the development of the great era of Performance Art. in music.
