Machineries Of Joy is enriched by the newborn Darkmen. Although around for quite some time in the underground demo scene, Darkmen can easily be compared to a good vintage wine that became better with time. With impressive timing, they are here to take their stand and start the battle to earn that well-deserved place amongst the big players in the Electronic Body Music (EBM) scene.Darkmen officially start their battle with this EP called "Guilty EP" (MEN001), where two tracks from their upcoming album "Guilty By Association" (MEN002) named "Stop the machine" and "No future" get the full remix treaty. Packed with an extreme high quality content, this strong set of remixes will force you to move while aching for more brutal electronics.Next to both "Transmission editions" of the main tracks (produced and edited by their label mates Ionic Vision), Darkmen themselves deliver a different, more subtle, and danceable approach of "No Future" in the form of their "No more pain mix". Ad:key enhances solid angst driven electronics with his "Detune mix" of "Stop the machine" while another new coming band A.D.A.C. 8286 embraces another violent stomping exploration, showing that there is a lot more quality wandering around in the current scene.But the icing on the cake here is delivered by two current major EBM dinosaurs Orange Sector and Ionic Vision. None less than Orange Sector deliver two extreme bashing versions of "No future" ("Angst vor der Zukunft" and "Was ist die Wirklichkeit"), both different in tempo but so fierce, so true old-school. Last in taking the remix responsibility is Ionic Vision, who unleash their machines leading into another assault for the EBM dance floor ("Ionic machines take over").Released March, 2009 of COP International / Machineries of Joy.Track Listing:1.
