Product Description
Though Tony Srock eventually took control of the Final Cut and transformed the group into one of Chicago's lesser-known 1990s industrial groups, this early album finds a young Jeff Mills taking charge of the group's sound, integrating a techno aesthetic that would lead him toward global stardom within a few years time. The sounds on Deep Into the Cut do retain a substantial amount of harsh aggression, with Mills and Srock favoring rude, dark sounds -- a style of heavy metal without guitars but rather malicious machines and a sense of nihilism. Yet while it's interesting to see this raw side of Mills, the album is better left on the shelf, a historical artifact. Within a few years time, once Srock took the group into a more guitar-orientated direction, the group would produce a more traditional style of industrial that should appeal to fans of the genre. This album's esoteric application of a techno aesthetic to industrial may be a bit too mechanical for most. ~ Jason Birchmeier
