Review

Alternative Press (2/02, p.65) - Ranked #21 in AP's "25 Best Albums of 2001" - "...Endo's daring experimental electronica opus hit like a stiletto-heeled boot to the eye."
Magnet (12-1/02, p.83) - "...Her slinky, puerile peek at electro is mean-spiritedly funny and weirdly feminine, wise beyond its years..."
The Wire (6/01, p.57) - "...Hallucinogenic loony toons...with a sparse and clinical studio-aesthetic..."

Title Note

As one-fourth of the rabble-rousing Atari Teenage Riot, Nic Endo has learned more than her fair share about the politics and pleasures of an all-out sonic assault. On her solo debut, however, Germany's Endo keeps eardrums intact as she creates a more subtly sinister electronic soundscape than her more famous noise punk outfit. The aptly titled Cold Metal Perfection feels distant, cold, and detached -- which doesn't mean it's uninspired, exactly -- as Endo sounds like she's scoring a low-budget horror film with a minimalist mix of metallic beats, noise, synths, and the occasional vocal sample. And while several songs lack a clear focus, the album has truly compelling moments, as on "Man-Eater" and "I Didn't Exist," which chillingly samples a woman confessing that she has "no desire for the close company of other people." It's the closest the album comes to making the sort of blatant social and political statement that's often associated with members of ATR (see: Hanin Elias' grueling and brilliant In Flames), however, and so Cold Metal Perfection doesn't exactly sound like the revolution fans may expect. ~ Jimmy Draper
