 Killing Floor-Dev/Null |Cargo/Reconstriction, 1995|  1. Ecosystem (monkey house mix), 2. Strand, 3. Two dimes, 4. Prelude, 5. Never Go Right, 6. Glass (shards re-edit), 7. What Is The Truth?, 8. In Decline, 9. Ecosystem (procreation dub), 10. Glass (live), 11. Ace of Spades (Motorhead) Dev/null is a special file in UNIX alike systems that discards all data written to it (but reports that the write operation succeeded), and provides no data to any process that reads from it, so works like a bit bucket. The null device is typically used for disposing of unwanted output streams of a process, or as a convenient empty file for input streams. This is usually done by redirection*. Computer technologies are still one of the most often inspiring things for a big number of industrial music artists and so a lot of tracks or album titles got such ‘programmed’ names. A constant fear or hope for others about a general computerization of the world stimulates a lot of musicians, and especially that kind of music to analyze whether human kind revolts against an artificial intelligence’s rules or gives up. Those and other less important topics about computers, programmers, hackers and people almost forced to adjust, clearly reflect the echoes of the new age era we’ve entered several years ago. Fortunately when it comes to music content of the album, it doesn't bring any of synth sounds only tuned up by the computers. Rebellion of Killing Floor's music brings unique atmospheres and sometimes supports the works of hard core or cold wave bands like Diatribe, Chemlab or Drown. Such genius songs like „In Decline”, „Two Dimes”, “What Is The Truth?” and „Glass” should be put amongst the classic songs of industrial rock and coldwave styles however seemingly Killing Floor was never any famous band back then. Dev/Null includes also a gloomy composition called „Prelude” with a hypnotizing monologue, probably made to sound like an artificial intelligence speaking and a cover song of „Ace od Spades” originally by Motorhead finishing the album. It's probably the best album of Killing Floor bringing both guitar driven and electronic vibes, cold and aggressive, meaningful for industrial rock and coldwave music. And so there's no other choice than love it. ( Katarzyna NINa Górnisiewicz. Must not be used for promotional or commercial purposes.
