Equal parts hard funk and electro-rock, sistermachinegun: 6.0 is a benchmark for the Chicago sound of the new century.


Editorial review

On their sixth album, Sister Machine Gun continues to do a superb job of incorporating a variety of musical styles into their post-industrial electro-rock; the hip-hop vocals of "Loser," the funky "Down On Me," the Pink Floyd-esque "Release," and the acoustic folk and bluesy harmonica of "Ten Minute God" are all good examples. Unfortunately, most of these experiments have been tried before by other bands, and have already become clich?. The impeccable musicianship and production on 6.0 nevertheless succeeds to breathe new life into them. Regrettably, the lyrics on 6.0 are as prosaic as its title. While they return consistently to such complex themes as alienation, perseverance, and frustration, they rely on trite phrases: "I'd rather run away from you," Chris Randall sings on "Automaton," "cause I'd just fall apart whenever you are near." Prosaic as it may be at times, 6.0 demonstrates beautiful musicianship, and consistently catchy and often danceable grooves. Miguel Turanzas' diverse guitar talent is a perfect complement to Randall's sultry voice and layered electronics. Though there's nothing to terribly disappoint on 6.0, there's also very little to intrigue. ~ Rich Goldman, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

Praise for sistermachinegun: 6.0:

"6.0 demonstrates beautiful musicianship, and consistently catchy and often danceable grooves..." - All Music Guide

"After the opening double-fisted fury of Automaton and Loser, Randall sets the dial at Lounge Funk and, with the delightful addition of harmony vocals, begins to meld the distinct poles of his dual visage into one powerful voice. There isn't an easy niche for Sister Machine Gun and, really, you have to ask yourself why bother finding one? Maybe so that I can tell you more easily how enjoyable it is to have the SMG funk spilling out of my speakers. Too caustic for candy pop, too incredibly groovy to be tossed into the electro-guitar industrial arena, too refined to be lumped in with the rest of the lo-fi independents, Chris Randall continues to cut his own path.

One of my faves. This one is definetly worth checking out if you like Industrial. I'd like to see them put up some of the older stuff for download - burn (1995), Metropolis (1997), The Torture Technique (1994).
