Lille Roger – "For Life" (Konduktör Rekords – KR12) 1985



From the land that gave us ABBA,Volvo,IKEA,endless numbers of Punk bands,neutrality in WW2,and virtually nothing else,we present 'Lille Roger' and his take on Old Skool industrial musick.
There'a song called Dachau (yawn),some German marching Band samples,tapes of American evangelists,a cover dedicated to a sadist, and lots of very attractive distorted electronic sounds.
Lille Roger, or Roger Karmanik, wisely avoids the most horrific subjects,by not mentioning the terminally awful rhyming dictionary rapists ABBA, whose only other connection to the old Skool is that Chris Carter of TG had an ABBA badge proudly, or Ironically(ha ha ha) pinned on his pullover....the Irony of that acktion completely flys over my confused little bonce.
Apparently this is the chap that started the Cold Meat Industries label....er.....well done?
Refreshingly crammed with Industrial cliché, its the type of Industrial music I listen to while i'm preparing the Fondue for my lower middle class nouveau riche guests. 
That's interwesting moozick Jonny, it that the Thex Pistols?.....to which I always reply, "Yes"and proceed to drop my bread in the cheese.....but,of course this is actually how second album Pistols should have sounded, so i wasn't entirely lying.
Next Up it's The Clash's greatest hits as interpreted by Vagina Dentata Organ.
