INERTIA - Decade Of Machines
“Decade of Machines” is the long-awaited best-of release by UK electro/industrial mainstays, Inertia. Inertia is one of those bands I’ve heard for years on compilations and internet radio shows, and I’ve always liked their stuff; however, I’ve never picked up any of their CDs. Why? Who knows?

I pick up so many CDs that some bands slip through the cracks, I guess. Anyway, “Decade of Machines” is an excellent place to start if you’re like me in this way. After hearing this release, you can be assured that I will right this wrong. ‘Best-of’ albums have always been interesting to me. It’s cool to hear how a band has grown and progressed over the years.

Disc 1 of “Decade of Machines” throws you for a bit of loop, though. Other CDs of this kind are almost always put in chronologic order, but the first disc of this album is not. The cool thing about this is that you can pick out the newer material fairly easily (and this is a compliment to the musical growth of Inertia). You’ll know what I mean when you hear the CD. I do have to say that the one song on this collection that really sticks in my head is “Angel”, if for no other reason other than the fact that I have loved the song since I first heard it. Definitely a killer track to kick off “Decade of Machines”!

Overall, the collection has a ton of variety, from hard-edged industrial to more club friendly electro tracks. This is an excellent collection of Inertia material. “Decade of Machines” is one of the better ‘best-of’ albums I’ve heard. It never bogs down or becomes boring. An excellent release!

 

INERTIA - Inertia
The incredibly talented band, Inertia, are Reza Udhin, Alexys B, Andrew Trail and Bob Malkowski whom specialize in the industrial, electro, and gothic sounds with brilliant results.

“The Preacher” clocks in at over 6 minutes long---amazing song, with such an incredible beat and very Depeche Mode fabulous! “Paralyzed”, Pressure so, so good; but “Follow Me” is SENSENTIONAL! A song to make you hunger for more, a song that you want to hear in a soundtrack to a mega theatrical release---a song to send out one-thousand and thirty-three cheers of excellence! “Le Cirque Noir” is every bit as colorful, mysterious, and vibrant as one would want a song of this caliber to be. “Repent” is vicious and raw---with surging non-stoppable power! Lastly, “Finale” is a haunting piece of music---very cryptic and atmospheric. This track would make for a perfect closing to a vampire movie. Stunning!

I’m so heavily into the music and visions of Inertia; a band I’d love to see live, and until then, I’ll continue to follow their phenomenally artistic career with a flowering heart of anticipation.
