Various Artists - Resistanz 2012 - International Industrial Music Festival (CD)

One does not simply make a festival as good as Resistanz. So clearly one does not simply make an album for Resistanz. Like the amount of thought that goes into the festival itself, compiling the album of the festival is by necessity an equally taxing and complex task. Because yes, it would be easy enough to simply throw together a few tracks and call that an album. But getting artists together instead, in order to generate exclusive Resistanz-only collaborations and remixes – that is an entirely different matter and far more difficult to pull off. Can Resistanz 2012 top the dizzying heights of Resistanz 2011 – one of the most highly-praised debuts of an industrial music festival ever? Only YOU can tell – by being there this April 7th and 8th, at Sheffield’s Corporation! But can the Resistanz 2012 album top the 2011 version? We humbly submit that it can and does! Take a look at the stats alone: last year, 8 exclusive tracks and 1 collaboration. This year, 12 (!) exclusive tracks, including 4 collaborations between artists performing at Resistanz 2012! And of those exclusive tracks, no fewer than 6 were specifically recorded simply for this album!
