lyrics

Progress was in every age
human's motive power.
From the fist wedge to the machine gun,
from cascade to shower.
Have you ever asked yourself?
Where is the end of this?
Is it the universe or our decline?
Is it the universe or our decline?

We conquered the fire
and cooked our foods.
But also, we burned people,
but also, we burned woods.
It gives too many bad things,
while the goods are too good.
While few people more destroy than many people save.
While few people more destroy than many people save.

The human expansion brings the disaster.
The human expansion brings the death faster.
First comes the collapse of nature and animals,
then comes the decline of human and universe.

Our destiny is progress,
we need it and we've got it.
We're the rulers of our own lives,
but we may not break the rules!
We must learn the rules of nature
to control our progress.
We could live with earth or we must die with earth!
We could live with earth or we must die with earth!

The Other Man - A Front 242 Tribute
by Leaether Strip

supported by 8 fans who also own “Expansion”

While these are good remixes, they are ironically stripped down to usual EBM trappings. It lacks a LOT of wild experimentation with arrangements, bombastic use of high dynamic range capabilities and Mariana trench's deep use of sequencers which made Front 242 a Sistine Chapel of the genre. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable EBM Fix ►For You◀ I do appreciate visceral energy on certain songs which added another layer to the originals. Now i wait for FLA's Caustic Grip/TNI tribute like a guard dog. Symbolic ‡ Tentacles

A good follow-up to the fantastic Part I. Lots of bass, more treble would be nice for balance. torfik

Last Station
by Leaether Strip

supported by 6 fans who also own “Expansion”

My first Strip album was 1997's 'Self-Inflicted' when it was released, yes I am an old-school 90's. To this date is still one of my favorite albums of that genre. Checking up I saw this Bandcamp page which showed the liner-notes for Last Station, and having kept loose tabs on Claus' life my heart sank to the very bottom. I'm so very sorry. I purchased the physical CD and it's what one can expect of this artist, top-tier, top-notch musicality, musicianship, the very best, 10/10. Bpomp
