Download - Furnace Re:Dux, Subconcious Communications - sub30

This is the reissue of the first album (1995) by Download of cEvin Key, co-founder of Skinny Puppy. The experimentation of Skinny Puppy goes even further in this project, leading to an industrial album with many I.D.M. and Ambient elements (anyways, good industrial and experimentation are synonyms...). Don't except an easy listening album, but one that you will spend much time listening to in order to drain its full potential, as all true experimental acts.


This reissue also includes bonus studio material, parts of which later became album songs, but they give an amazing picture of how the syntheses evolve in the studio and how ideas materialise and transmute.

Also Genesis P. Orridge from Throbbing Gristle accepted to perform the only vocals in the whole album. Need any other proof that this is a 100% pure industrial album?

My personal pick, one of the best songs EVER!
