Think About Mutation - MotorRazor '96 "TAM's new release is the pre-cursor to their forthcoming third full length "Hell Raver". TAM produce a housey industrial mesh utilizing the popular house sounds of the late eighties with loud guitars for the nineties. They have revised an old track from their first disc..given it to a few remixers, most notably Alec Empire (he of ATR) who's remix is fantastic, he's given it the digital hardcore feel, pumping up the speed and vocals to ridiculous levels. The TAM version is better than their original, although the new tracks included on the cds are a bit better..allowing their housey housey style to take full effect.!"(A)

Think About Mutation - Hellraver "This is a very hot disk!! Hellraver is an appropriate title. It is rave from hell ... harsh coldwave industrial music with a big rave/techno influence. This disk is full of adrenaline. The production is awesome and the vocal layering and effects are also amazing. One of the better hybrid industrial disks around!"(D)

Think About Mutation - Hellraver "What a disappointment. Having heard all the praise afforded to this band lately I was expecting to be astounded. Their first disc was a dire blend of metal chug-a-long riffing, their second an inspired collection of chug-a-long riffing mixed with some seriously decent house music with some great female vocals which they have ditched from this disc. Although present are their two vocalists, one a whiney chap, the other a grunting beast. Still present are their own unique mixture of house and metal riffs, which do on occasion work, as on the opening cut "Ganglords" and "Try The Way To Move". But the majority is just a load of big balls which doesn't really go anywhere. Hmmm..and the drum sounds are pretty limp. "Define the riddim of your life" ptcha!" (A)
