It scores a healthy 6 on the Industrial cliché scale for the image of Auschwitz on the front, but this is rap music for miserable young men with long black overcoats and longer black fringes. A genre defining tape if ever there was one!
Having said that the whole of side B is probably in the Ambient Dark Industrial Rap sphere of influence; consisting entirely of a field recording of the "outside" world (by Alain Neffe), a sound of silence type experiment of the ambient noise of a city.A lost opportunity to have P Diddy lay some of his deep poetry on whitey!?....Maybe next time eh?

That tongue-in-cheek genre descriptor is actually not too far from what Death Grips' NO LOVE DEEP WEB album sounds like, although it's a bit more like a cross between early Public Enemy and Whitehouse circa Erector—pummelling, irregular white-noise beats and half-screamed stream-of-consciousness vocal splatter about being tortured in abandoned buildings and gouging out your eyes while on DMT. Good stuff.
Clipping are even noisier and more out there beat-wise, to near Merzbow levels on some tracks, but the rap style on display is way more straightforward. Ditto the late lamented Dälek, who collaborated with Faust, sampled "Diet of Worms" and made sidelong spoken word and found sound collages, but were relatively subdued vocally most of the time.
...I listen to a lot of music.
Personally, can't stand most rap music,the culture,the sports cloths....,ok all rap music! But i did like Dalek,thanks to the faust connection.Although I suppose The Fall is a kind of authentic White Rap,and I like them/him.
I'm attracted to the description of Death Grip. I'll give it a go....but I had better like it!
Here is the Death Grips video and audio page with direct downloads of most releases.
