REVIEW: Lords of Acid, Voodoo U (American)
- Joe Silva
The Lords made a stir in hardcore techno circles a few years ago mixing up a good amount of sex and naked subversion with a violent rhythm that was never short of BPMs. What's been tossed in for Voodoo-U is some tense and speedy guitar work along with a clutch of flourescent she-devils doing various triple X numbers on one another to nab your interest. But overall, the project fails miserably. Only "Drink My Honey" is rendered with a tolerable groove and with vocals that are only mildy obnoxious. While the seduction the Lords of Acid play with may be intentionally silly porn-in-cheek, it's plays like bad techno theatre and should be binned wholesale unless it can be handed to some slick DJ who can do some decent salvage work for a remix land.
