More Info "Das Warten hat sich gelohnt: Zehn Jahre nach Veröffentlichung des zweiten Albums erscheint mit "Cask Strength" ein weiterer Meilenstein des belgischen Rhythmus-Industrial-Pioniers. Hypnotische düstere Ambient-Flächen treffen hier auf knallhart verzerrte Beats. Roh,aggressiv und komplex - "Cask Strength" wird im Industrial-Bereich Maßstäbe setzen, wie schon "Human Dislocation" und "Nord" zehn Jahre zuvor! Imminent Starvation has been a leading light in the intersection of powerful industrial music and advanced electronics. Incessant technoid rhythms, twisted electronic noise and cold, sinister atmospheric textures are the key ingredients in Olivier Moreau's musical spectrum. After finishing 'Nord / North' in 1999, he destroyed his mixing desk, gave away the pieces as part of the limited Nord release and shortened his moniker to Imminent. After the name change he produced remixes for Sonar, Iszoloscope, Orphx and others, appeared on compilations, performed live and collaborated with Synapscape as 'The Incredible Three'. Furthermore he constantly worked on this new full length album - which has now been completed. Like any good whisky that has to mature for at least 10 years in a cask, it took the same time for this release to maturate - and it was worth awaiting the ripening. Indeed the music is comparable to a cask strength whisky's taste: raw, aggressive, powerful, without any concession or any additive to dilute its true nature, but it also includes a lot of complexity that awaits to be discovered by a true connoisseur. Straight beats interwoven with sophisticated breaks, brilliantly placed samples, intertwining powerful atmospheric synth textures and forceful distorted sequences (without inhibition) form into the sophisticated style of industrial music Imminent is known and loved for. 64 minutes of music - just like a 64% abv bottled cask strength whisky contains - taste it and full satisfaction is guaranteed!"
