Schuldt - First Error Code

German Tim Schuldt has earlier been big on the German trance scene but has now moved back to his roots and with influences from the band he listened to when he was young (like Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy and Ministry). Now he releases his first industrial album together with Myk Jung who used to be the singer in The Fair Sex.

This is a pretty divided album where you can hear everything from hard rock loops to Prodigy like bass line. Some are good, some are less good. It feels like Tim has a few problems choosing if he should do more to the techno scene or towards the heavy industry scene. You should have in your memory that this actually is his debut and hopefully he will have chosen a more deep direction for the next album. Personally I think he should choose the electronic part, he has more experience there and on the album you can hear that the electronic parts are better done and that that's where he is well experienced.

Keep your eyes open for Schuldt in the future.
