What a s**tload of cr*p.......2004-11-10

You call it techno? No way!!!!!! You call it Drum N bass? Well Im so sorry a band like this one made stupid music! I mean I love fusion between genres when it's done intelligently. Oh and another thing, I'm not only criticising the release but also the cr*p some amazon users can write thinking they know about techno music, if you are a music fan you are a pity for mankind.

Incredible album overlooked and underrated.......2002-04-20

The old Cubanate sound was great for what it was, but by the time their third album "Barbarossa" hit shelves, it was clear that there was nothing left to explore in that style. With Interference, they changed their style quite a bit. Yes, there are breakbeats, but don't write this off as techno. It's every bit as hard and angry as past Cubanate, but at the same time it's more mature and introspective. Unfortunately, the old-line fanbase balked at this change in direction--I guess they'd rather have another album of the same thing rather than be challenged a bit--and so Cubanate is reverting somewhat to their old sound for their next album. But Interference is a moment of brilliance, choked off too soon by the same single-mindedness that makes so many industrial bands sound exactly alike.

it's ok.......2001-04-12

the worst thing about this band is the arrogant Marc Heal, who recently said in an interview that he had been the first to blend electronics and guitars (sic): Marc... what about KMFDM, Die Krupps, Front 242, NIN, FLA...? ok, a slight mistake. In fact, this work is quite different from previous ones since a drum'n bass beat dominates most of the songs... guitars are also present but they don't control the songs... I think Heal has improved a lot, and C-Tec works are proofs of this. After the first spontaneous 'It' in which Heal must have broken his vocal chords, there're some good songs, 'Isolation', 'An Airport Bar' or 'The Horsetrader' being maybe the best. They stmes get too long, though, and I can't help thinking Cubanate is sometimes a bit boring... If I were you, i would buy 'Darker' or 'Cut' by C-Tec instead: De Meyer's voice is infinitely better than Heal's, and that makes a change... However, 'Interference' is not a bad album at all, in my opinion their best, I never liked their style.

A Perfect Sidestep into a Different Sound.......2000-05-26

Having perfect their earlier signature sound with Barbarossa, Cubanate wisely chose to alter their repertoire trading in in their old school techno for hardcore drum'n'bass. Most bands would take two albums or more to perfect a new direction in sound; Heal and Barry perfect it one single bound. The result is an almost seamless venture into aggression, desperation and schizophrenic hatred. The drum machine is kept interesting, churning out beats that are different with each track, so as to not fall into the usual pitfalls of repetitive boredom that drum'n'bass habitually suffers from. The guitars are still very much present, and Marc Heal's abrasive, dripping-with-spite vocals also return intact, with a surprise: they've upped their intellectual level. My sole complaint on the otherwise perfect Barbarossa was the cheesineess of the lyrics("We're the boys in black and blue...meet my friends! We're the musclemen!") This soft spot seems hardened up on Interference, the lyrics taking a more introverted and personal stance; it renders them more compelling, but does not once stand to compromise the unyielding anger and disgust that has (and probably always will be) endemic to Heal's vocal delivery. If anything, he sounds even more ready to tear your throat out on this record than on any before it. The variety of Cubanate's sound is also upped on this disc, it includes the hip-hop influenced track "The Horsetrader", and even an ambient-esque song towards the middle. My sole complaint is track 7, "Other Voices", which, unlike the other songs on the album, really has nothing memorable about it, sounding purely like filler. But that one misstep is not enough to deny Interference a 5-star rating in my book. A must for hardcore techno fans everywhere, undeniably, and as for fans of Cubanate's old sound...they may be alienated, I must admit, but I remind them to keep an open mind and to keep spinning it, because all good music "clicks" eventually, with enough listens.

You haven't heard nothing yet...........2000-04-11

Now we're getting to trouble, don't expect this to be America's number 1 depressing album(make you wanna slice your wrist) and worst album ever "The Fragile" cause your nowhere close to it. Interference a high INTENSE album with raging (not angry) vocals and the guitars have reached a new ground for techno. The lyrics are quiet different, it isn't the lyrics everybody can relate to only certain people with a wild-fun life like cubanate. So don't expect to go to a cubanate concert and have your arm sticking up with a lighter on and singing along with marc heal. Cause you'll have dozen's of kicks in your face. One of the groups that go side-by-side with cubanate is "K-nitrate" awesome group. I can't believe people are still using the name "Industrial" ! haven't heard that name in almost 5 years, the name industrial is pretty much worth a penny now.

Album Description

2 on 1 CD featuring the best of the acclaimed singer-songwriter's 80s albums. Although associated with folk-rock due to his time spent as frontman with Fairport Convention, Plainsong and Southern Comfort, Matthews' solo output has always stylistically varied and been difficult to pin down, and these are no exception- the first flirting openly with the power pop sound of XTC, Squeeze, Bram Tchaikovsky et al, the second an excursion into minimalist synthesized New Wave. Sadly, he never received enough acclaim for these experiments, but the albums are worthy of investigation- especially in this digitally remastered slipcase format with brand new notes. BGO. 2005.

Album Details

Seemingly First Time on CD for These Two 1980s Albums from Distinguished Singer/Songwriter Ian Matthews. From his Early Days in Fairport Convention, Through Matthews Southern Comfort to the Present Day, Ian Has Made a Collection of Well-crafted Original Records. He is Still Gigging and Recording in the 21st Century. Digitally Remastered, Slip-cased and with New Notes.

2 completly different CD's.......2005-10-13

Disc 1, "spot of interference" is out of the late 70's-early 80's, I had picked up a vinyl copy about then and it quickly became one of my all time favorites, but someone ripped it off at a party years back, having just found it on cd, it's like finding a long lost friend, the music, well it's not Southern Comfort, believe or not, THIS DISC ROCKS!, it has a bit of a "pop" feel to it, the closest I can describe it is a mixture of Humble Pie and Crabby Appleton glance at Christopher Milk, great guitar riffs, solid songs, strong lyrics, you will want to get up and dance! Disc 2, this one is new to me, I am still working it in, it is not at all like dics 1, it is almost pure tecno pop, the echo chamber is used a lot, some song have a far east feel to them, don't get me wrong, it's good, it's like, Be Bop Deluxe, maybe a little mild. "Spot of Interference" is a real guitar rock album,not like some of these pretenders out there, It will get into your ears, your feet and your musical soul!

Thal is a premier composer, soloist and singer........1999-07-31

I first stumbled into Thal when I borrowed a Shrapnel CD featuring a slew of guitar heros. Thal's contribution to that album entitled "Blue Tongue", demonstrates his ability to generate complex, creative, and energetic arrangements and compositions. Furthermore, Thal's works are peppered with unbelievably unique and cool sounding guitar solos and vocals. Thal also has a sense of humor... I find that refreshing. Just buy the damn CD... buy all of Thal's works that you can get your hands on.. you'll be treated to many hours of intense listening pleasure. I rarely listen to anything else these days because hardly anyone comes close to matching the mad genius of Thal.

ENTERTAINING, INTENSE, & UNIQUE..........1999-03-04

HERMIT IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE OF ALL THE THAL RECORDINGS. IT JUST REEKS OF MUSICALITY AND STINKS OF IN INSPIRATION! IT'S SIMPLY PUT JUST A WONDERFUL CREATION IN A MEDIUM THAT IS LARGELY MEDIOCRE & VACANT.

Versatile and humorous.......1998-10-18

This is quite an interesting album - while Thal's unique guitar style is instantly recognizeable (if you have heard "The Adventures of Bumblefoot" or any of his other recordings), he ventures into singing on this album. Usually, when great guitarists try to sing, it fails miserably (i.e. Steve Vai, Joe Satriani (at times his singing is tolerable, though)). However, Thal actually does a great job on vocals - he actually has quite a dynamic range.

One of Ron Thal's personal favorite songs on the album, "I Can't Play the Blues," is a cut on his ability to play with emotion. It's nice to see that some artists don't take themselves completely seriously, but that couldn't be further from the truth - Thal's playing is full of emotion, which, at least to me, is the key to any good music.
