This band was a part of the same Milwaukee underground scene that brought us the post-Industrial rock and Power Electronics of Boy Dirt Car and Impact Test, the progressive hardcore thrash of Die Kruezen, and the psychedelic hypno-rock of Vocokesh, the latter of which was actually formed by F/I member Richard Franecki after he left that group. Much of F/I's back catalog has been reissued in recent years through the Australian label Lexicon Devil, but this disc comes to us from RRRecords. RRR was the primary label documenting F/I's monstrous output in the 1980's, and even released a multi-LP boxset from the group that has become one of the great Holy Grails of the noise/psych underground. Since there isn't much of a chance of finding that box set anywhere, I'm settling for this disc which collects a bunch of the key tracks from F/I's RRRecords output, and it's as good an introduction to the band as yer going to get. The 1993 disc has nine tracks of lengthy noise/space rock jamming based around monotonous 4/4 drumming, sludgy simplistic riffs, abrasive industrial noise, weird samples, car horns, and electronic noise, riffs are ground into infinity and are surrounded by psychedelic siren drones and shimmering electronic buzz. Primitive and intensely hypnotic and ultra zoned, like a drug-addled cross between Hawkwind, some sheet-metal smashing industrial noise group, Stockhausen-style musique concrete, lunkhead Black Sabbath riffs, Chrome and the early hypno-dirge-rock of Skullflower. Pretty fucking awesome! Comes in a plastic sleeve with xerox-damaged inserts.
