The music of Mechanical Organic is very slow; its tempo can be compared with that of Doom. For the remaining, it’s for the majority industrial, but with a clean high voice. This is actually quite annoying; throughout the entire CD the vocalist sings very long stretched, slow high notes. In a song like ‘Nothing is Real’ this really sounds whining and this is not the only occasion. With the CD’s play time being over an hour and 15 minutes, which is way too long to listen to this music, it really starts to bore you. The biography claims that the lyrics are intellectual stimulating, but you may judge for yourself because I couldn’t stand focusing on the vocals.

 

The positive points of this band are the high guitar melodies with the electronic effects over it, often overtaken by a synthesizer in the same atmosphere. Like in the opening track this functions as a redline throughout the song. Unfortunately everything sounds kind of soft and the beats misses power. In ‘Hacking Humanity’ there is a darker vibe, which is nice, and even a double bass kicks in. When the high repetitive guitar solo joins it one of the better parts arises. These good darker instrumental parts are the strongest points of Mechanical Organic, but never am I really stunned by this band.
