Electronic Control Organization: Demo
- Falling Down Years
- Frost Warning
- Insinuate
It doesn't take much to notice that Electronic Control Organization have a
great deal of talent and motivation when all three songs on this demo are
solid, well constructed compositions. However, while they may have strong
programming skills, they lack both originality and a strong production
technique. Usually it kind if wears thin when a band swipes more than one
bassline or sequence to use in a single song. In this case. ECO borrow heavily
from Front Line Assembly for two of the tracks on this demo, in as much as they
start to actually sound like FLA. The other downside is that the vocalist is
exceedingly monotone and whomever mixed the demo buried his voice underneath so
much of the electronics that he might as well not be singing at all. The
vocalist definitely needs to spend some time in voice classes to learn to
utilize a more varied vocal range. At the same time the band severely needs to
invest better studio and mixing equipment before attempting another release.
Overall not a bad piece of work for a first effort by an unknown band but ECO
certainly needs a great deal of work before they will be ready for prime
time.
