Classic Album Review: Non-Aggression Pact | Broadcast-Quality Belligerence

The Florida synth-and-vocals duo’s comeback disc more than lives up to its title.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


After splitting a few years back, this Florida synth-and-vocals duo signed a non-aggression pact of their own and reunited for this sophomore release.

The results — a twisted, funky collision of Skinny Puppy and Fatboy Slim — more than live up to the CD title. The hip-hoppy samples, light-industrial drum machines and gothic old-school keyboards are definitely ready for the airwaves, and singer Jason Whitcomb, whose every line seems to be delivered through a black leather sneer, definitely isn’t having a good day. But you will when you hear this.
