Seattle's SMP (Sounds of Mass Production), the brainchild of sole
member Jason Bazinet, sent us a 4 track sampler to review containing
material from Crimes of the Future, SMP's fifth album. The disc
includes the tracks "Beautiful", "This Perfect Day", "Three
O'clock", and "Exit Wound" from the new release, which also features
notable contributions from members of Doll Factory, Christ Analogue,
Static Engine, and Penal Colony.
"Beautiful", arguably the best track here (and one that I found
myself putting on repeat play), is a mid-tempo number falling
squarely in the synthpop school of industrial electro-rock with
melodic vocals that are, a times, somewhat reminiscent of VAST. It's
an extremely strong track with great driving synth bass and catchy
melodies. "This Perfect Day" follows the same formula as "Beautiful"
but ups the tempo a bit and adds distorted guitar riffs to the mix
for another very good, albeit more standard and slightly less
noteworthy, song. "Three O'clock" takes things in more of an
industrial rap rock direction with laid back beats, slow distorted
guitar riffs, and rapped lyrics. It's a fairly cool moody track with
somewhat cheesy lyrics that work in the names of a number of bands
(including Leather Strip, Rage Against the Machine, Black Tape for a
Blue Girl, and, in true rap rock fashion, SMP themselves) and seem
to involve laser tag and first person shooters. "Exit Wound" is a
similar laid back rap rock track that runs under 2 minutes and
appears to be more of an album closing number than a proper song
(repeating a loop with a few lines of lyrics and slowly dissolving
into more abstract noise).

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
