A new signing for the NM-based DSBP label, but with TAU FACTOR a relatively known name. Hailing out of Seattle, this one-man project led by Carsten P. could already release a debut CD called "Prototype" on the ADSR Musicwerks label (NOXIOUS EMOTION) back in 2K2. Several live performances around the Seattle area have happened through the years and TAU FSACTOR could open the shows for some international renowned acts like THE CRUXSHADOWS, GRENDEL or IMPERATIVE REACTION. So live performances have always had an essential point for Carsten, and this will continue, since he prepares for a tour later this year. Thanks to this, but also musically Carsten likes to prove very well his artistic background – this isn’t the musically output of a lonely PC musician installing some preset loops. The music of TAU FACTOR is a very own mixture out of acts like UV, early INFORMÄTIK, Germany’s ACCESSORY and some early 90ies EBM/Dark Electro flavors. The overpopulated Hellektro-virus got luckily left outside of this production, it is a rather moody Dark Electro album which allows to offer danceable tunes ("Dissolution", "Cold Core" or "Overpressure") as well as music to expand your mind ("Fade From View"). Carsten for sure doesn’t use the freshest water to cook his music soup, but otherwise music banned on a real silver circle which avoids the trendy styles is highly appreciated. This CD features 10 new compositions, one cover version of "Inhumanities" by MENTALLO & THE FIXER (blessed by Gary Dassing), a new version of the older track "Convolution" and a remix work on the track "Motionless" provided by the Greece act PREEMPTIVE STRIKE 0.1. Also included is a nice music video on the track "Motionless". This is a very detailed arranged, high-quality Dark Electro album, which currently lays like lead in my home entertainment. Authentic old-school Dark Electro music which avoids a pseudo-aggressive attitude – another fine addition to the rich roster of the DSBP label.
