DUMNN Demo review by Sampler & Sans Repoches
Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe "Dumnn" cdm 5 tracks, 28min.

This inexpressible name caught my attention out of curiosity and I decided to contact this Dutch guy after hearing the "Safety Word remix" done for Buropolitik. Marco immediately replyed with an enthousiastic e-mail and not without a reason; he enjoys to spread his music around. "DUMNN" is his 7th demo (note, actually my second!) in 2 years time the project exists. All "signed" through mp3.com (note, read "distributed"). Marco is into Industrial and compares himself with MS-Gentur, Converter and Feindflug. The demo is not bad at all en you can download even some songs from it, when online and available that is! A good initiative!

Xytrobuzyrrwe Review by The Shanmonster
Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe's album Xytrobuzyrrwe is real industrial music.

This is harsh stuff, and not for those with sensitive ears, but don't think it's unstructured. Xytrobuzyrrwe is orchestrated noise, and not the thinly-disguised dancefloor techno that has come to be called industrial. The album hearkens back to the days of bands like In Sotto Voce and early Einsturzende Neubauten and eschews the club sensibilities of bands like Apoptygma Berzerk and VNV Nation. After listening to this album, it's difficult to believe the music can all be categorized under the same genre.
My favourite track is "Desirhar" with its driving machine noise and metallic percussion. "Pryzpruw" incorporates short blasts on a police whistle and calls up images of 1980s breakdancing videos. The hardest song on the entire album is P.A.L.'s Broken Desire Mix of "Desirhar." It takes the already harsh sounds of the original version and runs them through a cement mixer to create a track hard enough to drive a tank across.
Do not listen to this album if you're verging on a migraine. Do listen to it if you've forgotten what industrial music is all about.

YRRWE ZSUZYRRWE Demo by Side-line
Don’t pay too much attention to the poor artwork of this demo, but concentrate on the outstanding content!

Y.Z. is hailing from The Netherlands and combines dark electro-industrial structures with techno ideas. The 6 tracks are terrific masterpieces, which left me breathless!
It’s meticulously conceived and totally amazing to hear the way opposite styles can be united in such a harmonious sound. The basic idea is built up around primitive cadences while the repetitive sequences are approaching a certain trance sensation! The more you enter the trip, the more you feel the skill of the duo. It’s a worthwhile experience and I can only encourage the project to go in search of a real deal… it would be a shame if they don’t find one! Industrial-techno that means much more that a whole army of established formations in the same style!Brilliant!

YRRWE ZSUZYRRWE - „Xytrobuzyrrwe“ (CD-R) The Noise Department/Side-Line

Ah, technoid stomping and filtered distortion. Again and again it’s fun to listen to hard dance music. This unpronounceable duo from the Netherlands is as reliable as a VW bug and only upon close inspection reveals the cleverness of its simplicity. Industrial forced in to a rhythm corset. Never truly going beyond the scope of the genre, still, never plainly ripping anybody off either. Apparently, the correct pronunciation of the band name is supposed to approximate the project’s sound. There is some truth to this droney-guttural onomatopoeia. It’s always oscillatingly powerful in your face, always danceable, always noisy, but never over-modulated and thus rather palatable. The congenial noise overkill of the Pal remix should not be passed up by any true Ant-Zen and Hands freak. I cannot help but fully recommend this CD-R in its aesthetically pleasing, transparent slip case.

Xytrobuzyrrwe Review
Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe.... still not quite sure how to pronounce the name of this band, but their music leaves you all gobsmacked and flabbergasted, so in the end all you can say is something that would sound like "Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe".
Within Industrial music there are not many bands who have managed to create this specific atmosphere in their songs, and suprise you ALL THE TIME. Once you think you have the hang of it all, once you have the faintest idea "ok, now I know what is going to come next", Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe leads you into a new direction... in every way.
The sounds they use are not always typical for industrial music, which makes it oh so interesting. Sometimes you are hit with a beat, then the tiniest faintest subtlest sound tickles your ear, after which a sound apperas of which one might think "hey, is this a human voice or not ? what happened to this?" ... but before you have any time to think about what that is, another sound you did not expect comes up... at a time you did not expect.... and changes your entire idea.... total surprise.

As all this is happening, the notion that pops into mind is: "if music could make love to you, Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe is doing just that". This music really does make love to you... it can be sensual at times (if you are a lover of industrial music, you will understand that music needs not to be soft to be sensual), and then it can throw you over, and tease you again and again and again. This is definately NOT the type of music you can use as background music, it will ask for your attention.
Dancable?? Most definately. It is likely you'll dive right into the music, and it will not let go.

Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe - Xytrobuzyrrwe [The Noise Department]

Yrrwe Zsuzyrwwe is a new Dutch industrial/noise project. This 8 track cd-r is released by The Noise Department, an Industrial Noise Promotion Agency. Mainman behind both Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe and The Noise Department is Marco V. Before YZ started he has been involved in other industrial projects like Legal Injury and Hydlide (now known under the name Ex IQ). For live performances Marco has recruited Tanja for percussion and 'live creativity'.
The music on 'Xytrobuzyrwwe' is a mixture of industrial sounds with a somewhat older feeling to it and industrial/noise dance music. Some of the sounds used remind me of pieces of early Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. These sounds are combined with the dance elements of harsh contemporary industrial and noise music such as pounding basslines and heavy distorted drums. The result is very loud and pounding dance music with lots of noisy sounds, somewhat in the same vein as Asche and Converter.
My favorite tracks are 'Desirhar' which is good dance track with old industrial sounds, the P*A*L over the top remix of this song and 'Farhunew' which combines electro industrial sounds in a very danceable mix. The overall feeling of the music on this album is that of machines running wild, but in a strange way they produce danceable rhythms. In this way it us much like 'factory dance music' as Test Dept used to make, only in a very modern way.
