CD - IAMX - The Alternative (000 217 2MRC) GER



Released almost a year ago (28 april 2006) this absolutely brilliant album finally reached my collection.

Chris Corner former Sneaker Pimps is IAMX.

"Dark UK synth-pop band fronted by former Sneaker Pimp Chris Corner, whose songs the Austin Chronicle described as "the best [Depeche Mode's] Martin Gore never penned."
- guardian.co.uk

"IAMX is an altogether more immediate and aggressive vehicle for Chris Corner than Sneaker Pimps were. He's backed by an industrial trio that wouldn't look out of place alongside Marilyn Manson, and whose set sounded like a sleek, modernist upgrade of Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine. Which is something that should serve them well among the goth and industrial dance set. Lots of dark, muscular dance tracks with pervy titles auch as Kiss and Swallow, with Cornell writhing through the fog of dry ice with the physicality of Prince, while looking more like a live-action version of Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Very dramatic."
