Formed in 1994 by Geert de Wilde, and soon discovered by Dirk Ivens (Klinik, Dive, Sonar, Absolute Body Control), IC 434 deals in this album again with subjects as society criticism, animal abuse, archeological mysteries and astronomical descriptions, linked with personal experiences Geert has had with death and mental pain. "Anhedonia" is defined as the inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable. Although the sound of the album is still based on the 80"s Korg M1, IC 434 does not create a typical old school feeling, but a kind of timeless dark electronic, atmospherical and "danceable" music, combining musical elements from today and earlier on.Appreciated also as excellent live act, IC 434 collaborated over the years with a whole list of people such as Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe (Empusae), Johan Van Roy (Suicide Commando) and Guy Van Mieghem (as Geert joined Vomito Negro in the early 2000"s). A must have album for all fans of intelligent electro/EBM!Released early December, 2011 on Infacted.Track Listing:01 An ideal World02 Social Reality03 Anhedonia04 Black Boy"s dead05 Deportation06 Doomwatcher07 Rats08 Sangre de Toro09 The Waiting10 Skullwatch11 Broken Child12 Barnard 33
