Taking known cliches and blending them to make something completely original. I love how the characters have so much psychological depth. I love how violence becomes a form of crazy nihilism. I love the voices and the songs.
Just brilliant. Gender queer greek mythology in a gritty mafia run cyberpunk city? Only The Mechanisms could make it work. Favorite songs: Riddle of the Sphinx, Favoured Son, Underworld blues.
This album contains delights and surprises that continue to amaze even after the first two albums. Iphis deserves a full album length story and I want to hear more about her/him. Favorite tracks: Redeath and Iphis.
