Turkish EBM? Not something you hear every day, is it? Well, Samet ?zgür is flying the electro flag for his homeland (albeit on a Russian label, but you can't have everything!), having been given a foot up the promotional ladder by the kind patronage of no less than Johan Van Roy, which is about as good as it gets for any aspiring EBMer, of course! So by now, you're thinking that this is a prime slice of hard-hitting slice of EBM terror & while the cover art, album title & song titles all suggest that this is what Samet was aiming for, it never quite gets there due to the rather 'light' production that makes this a likeably lively album with a sort of naive charm rather than a real 'between the eyes/bullet to the brain' electro terror experience, like a young kid trying to be menacing but actually being quite loveable! It helps greatly that each & every track is so lively & infectious that you really can't help but get into it & there's certainly plenty of dancefloor potential in pretty much every track (that this is largely down to them all sounding pretty much the same is another matter entirely-variety isn't its strong point, even by EBM standards!). True 'Realize The Suicide' does make a slightly better fist on the nastiness front & the infectious closer 'Beta Version World' does have a slightly darker chorus but, apart from those, it's lively, danceable & infectious EBM all the way here &, despite the lamentable lack of any musical elements from Samet's homeland which would be a definite plus (just imagine Turkish elements & EBM beats, I'm feeling faint at the thought of that!) this sees him getting off to a decent, if overly predictable, start.
