Android In Motion brings his latest release, The Final Temptations, from the Roil Noise label and what I can say about this release is that it is my favorite so far to come out of that fast growing label. Being a noise/industrial/hardcore/heavy-beat driven fan of music, and owning a lot of CD’s from that style, I’ll say that this is right up there with bands like Converter, Terrorfakt, and SINA (minus the lyrics and hot German chick). This is a full CDr and I would have paid the HMV price for this one.

Each of the 13 tracks holds its own and they range from 3:15 to 7:51. Noise usually begins the track then the build up of hard pounding beats begin, and these aren’t just mindless techno drums either, there is purpose with these beats and they don’t feel repetitive at all. In short, I don’t get bored listening to any of these tracks. To note: Track #2 (Polarity Shift), Track #3 (Enamoured Lover), Track #6 (Happy Kitties) and Track #13 (Life’s Glow Fading) are true kickers on this CDr and would have made great 7" singles on labels like D-Trash. The thing I like most about AIM’s style is his way that he builds up tracks and stays with it. He knows how to make music, it’s as simple as that, yet he uses noise blasts and distortion to his advantage giving us hard-heads something we all crave and a good excuse to smash shit up when were done listening.

Something to note about AIM is this release by Slayv Axis - Remixez V.1 which features remixes by Panzer Division, Terrorfakt, and Android in Motion, to name a few. Good show. If you feel you’re the type that likes hardcore beat driven noise, and not the flower-shop Merzbeat shit, then pick this up. You’re bound to like at least half the CD, if not all. I dare you to cure your Final Temptation.
