The Opera prima of <b>Mach FoX<\/b>\u2019s project, released by Phage Tapes, brings us seven originals and fourteen remixes, these only available with the digital download.

The album opener is the aggressive and industrial \u201cPulse\u201d with frightening voices that gives you an idea of what this record is about. The following tracks, \u201cOur Revenge\u201d and the titular \u201cBe a Light,\u201d are closer to the classic sound of EBM. The first one with some synths with a clear 80s flavour and the second one with a positive message that contrasts with the darkness of the music. \u201cIEYEI\u201d is another powerful and direct track, perfect for a Goth club. \u201cAnother Way\u201d is one of our favorite songs, with all the elements that make a great EBM track: chunky and cutting synth lines, a powerful voice and enough sonic complexity thanks to a thousand details that make the song richer and sound modern. \u201cDRKNRG\u201d is an instrumental with samples talking about Dark energy (if you wondered what these consonants stood for) and sounds that brings us back to the golden era of EBM. Last song, also interesting, it\u2019s \u201cPerson to Person,\u201d classic electronic body music that leave us wanting more. For fans of early <strong>Skinny Puppy<\/strong> or <strong>Nine Inch Nails<\/strong>, this album manages, in response to the title, to be the light that the genre needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The remixes take the songs a bit closer to the dancefloor. Our favorites: \u201cOur Revenge (The Manitou Neon Acid Remix)\u201d and \u201cBe a Light (Lawless 388 remix)\u201d that brings us to a time where the Rolands\u00a0303 and 808 reigned, the slightly retro \u201cBe a Light (Audiocentesis Remix)\u201d and \u201cPerson To Person (Timmy the Tapeworm P2PonPcp Remix)\u201d that sounds like something that <strong>Aphex Twin<\/strong> could have done.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that we have a review section and coinciding with the anniversary of the release&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4554,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[583],"tags":[367],"class_list":["post-4465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reviews","tag-industrial-music"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Zwaremachine - Be a Light &#8212;
