How to Entertain Your Slaughtering Tribe.......2004-01-23

:wumpscut: has been around the block quite a few times now and has put together some sequences in song that are utterly depraved and somewhat morbid. I've listened to a few songs with people that thought that they were somewhat sick in their approach to production, aghast at the pictures in the sleeves of some of their works because they make no excuses for the work inside, and perhaps that should say something. What it should say, well, that is another matter and that's because seeing this solely isn't looking beneath the surface of what :wumpscut: has to offer. In the years Rudy Ratzinger has been constructing products to house his anger, thoughts, and rage within, we've seen a little bit of everything. Statements both profound and questionable all come together under one room, and all to say many things that others try to avoid. Coated in electronic beats and voxing, it mutters notions that some wouldn't mutter even though they think it because they fear their own expressions. And that's what attracts me to these anthems the most.

Music For a Slaughtering Tribe definitely has quite a few pieces on it that I've come to hold in high regard. "Soylent Green," fast-tempo and carrying its message in English this time around, is heavy-hitting and showcased in extended form here and its one of those I covet. I've always thought this was debatably one of :wumpscut:'s most catchy hits, with the beat, lyrics, and memorable message collapsing into one sphere of thought. Its actually a song that managed to sell me on the band years ago. "On the Run," the next track, is proportioned fairly on the same level, only the message changes and the tempo shifts to a slower form. Its not bad, either, albeit not a track I would say could weather the barbs of aging. "Bleed" is sometimes hard to listen to because of all the static in the background making it madness, but I suppose that is somewhat the point when :wumpscut: takes on something about bleeding. The lyrics are rudimentary here, though, and I wasn't as impressed with it as I could have been. "Fear in Motion," a build piece that is less harsh than some of the other pieces, hosts the female vocals many may recognize from other tunes, and is one that grows on a listener (at least on this one) after a while. She isn't what I would call a melody singer, mind you, nor is she that talented as a vocalist, but there's something about her that says - oomph - when she gets going. "Default" is actually a nice remix and builds rather articulately, with the electronic seams blending well with the clips in it and make it solid as well. "Concrete Rage" kicks the electronic tempo up a few notches, with lyrics that are so-so in construction but that flow nicely with the rest of the album. "She's Dead" is actually a worthwhile piece both in its construction and in the remixed form touted here, showing off some lovely introduction with female vocals, an oddity of a beat when it all comes together, and a rather long frame. "Koslow," heavily industrial in beat and dark in lyrical construction, is worthy of noting and mostly because of what the song is actually commenting on. "Believe in Me" is an interesting song, too, and plays with clips and a long build to make up something that's dark, voxed, and tasty. "Dudek" reminds me a lot of what EBM sounded like at the time, with a lot of its beats reminiscent of music in that timeframe but with some fun lyrics, and it all closes out with the mostly musical, somewhat slow, "My Life."

For anyone attempting to bottle what :wumpscut: is, there is no easy answer. The sounds change depending on album and on what :wumpscut: brings to the table that day, and you never know what you'll find. You can count on certain things, sure, with anger being as much of a staple as depravity when I think of what :wumpscut: is going to make. Still, in both tempo and in song content, it seems to be like life itself and dependent on the psychological weather. And that's why its fun to tune in and listen to things as they're dismembered in the wording.

Cheese.......2003-10-01

This being one of the more formidable :W: releases it captures "12 reasons why i love cheese" feeling, however it's not all that bad if you consider it a techno (with cheeseypees on top) cd, rather then "industrial"....

Wumpscut's First hit album.........2000-01-15

I am a newer fan to Wumpscut, and I have not yet heard all of their songs as of yet. MFAST ( Music for a Slaughtering Tribe ) is the first album of theirs I ever purchased, and believe me, I was quite pleased. There are songs that you sorta like and grow onto liking more, and then their are songs that you like since the first three seconds of the song. Most of the songs on this CD have that quality. I'm sure you too will be pleased if you are a fan of Darkwave/techno/Gothic music.

Brutal, harsh and melodic.......1999-09-25

this has to be one of the most darkest and harshest ebm i have ever heard - my first :wumpscut: purchase and definitely not my last. Very recommended for fans of extremely dark music

Remind you of something........2006-08-02

As much as I love Rudy and Wumpscut, have you ever noticed how much "On the Run" sounds like " Strap me Down" by Leatherstrip. I know Rudy has never denied how much Leatherstrip has influenced him but this song is so blatent :o)

Wumpscut's Best / Good Intro to Aggressive Industrial.......2005-06-10

Music for a Slaughtering Tribe is easily one of my top ten favorite albums, and hands down my favorite electronic body music based CD (I also tend to like ambient industrial and heavenly voices / ethereal music). I think it is fair to suggest that others might agree, as there was enough interest in the original release(s) of MFAST, that Rudy re-released the album with some additional material as MFAST 2. This new material on the 2-disc MFAST 2 makes it worth buying even if you already own an original MFAST release.

Personally I like the second disc a bit more, with its remixes from other personal favorite bands like Kirlian Camera (Italy), Haujobb (Germany), Aghast View (Brazil), and Dive (Belgium). Naturally each of the remixes on this disc is easily identified by the sound of the artist, thus if you are a fan of Daniel Meyer's (Haujobb) more techno flavored music, you'll really love his remix of Soylent Green. Similarly if you are into classic minimalist EBM, Dirk Iven's remix of "Float" will be a hit with you. On this disc, it is hard to point out a favorite track, but if I had to pick a single track, I'd go with the Aghast View "Default" remix. This track has been on all of my exercise / jogging set lists since I bought the album, and is my "safety request" when I go clubbing. The song is simply a blast to stomp, groove, and cause havoc to ... er I mean dance. In any event, I've noticed that a number of DJs tend to play these remixes as frequently as the tracks off the first disc.

The first disc is good too. If you liked the album Wreath of Barbs, Aleta W.'s lyrics on "Fear in Motion" will amaze you. I honestly think that this first disc is much more aggressive than the remixes. Track's like "Koslow" are what I imagine most fans think of when they try to describe what Wumpscut is about. Other tracks, like "Concrete Rage" I'd actually classify as power noise instead of EBM. The surprising track for me was "the Day's Disdain". I'm not sure why the track didn't make it on the original release, because it is amazing.

Perhaps the best way to describe MFAST2 would be to simply say the album is "Brutal, and Cruel, and Dark ... Dark ... Dark".

The One That Started the :Wumpscut: Buzz.......2004-03-24

MFAST was the 1st full official release and featured Rudy's breakthrough smash "Soylent Green", a musical adaptation of the twisted sci-fi classic film. You can find earlier :W: material re-released as 'The Mesner Tracks' but this was the 1st true album. MFAST is not as layered or dense as later releases, but its straightforward, linear approach to EBM is both dark and powerful. His rage was almost at full strength here. On to the songs themselves...

"Soylent Green" is the main reason that MFAST is an essential piece of electro industrial. It was one of the biggest underground dance hits of the 90's with its undeniable, stark hook and pounding beat. The vocals are as angst-filled as any. "Concrete Rage" is a typical early :W: song with straight-ahead synth bars and distorted angry vocals/lyrics. "She's Dead" is a sample-filled, atmospheric piece. There are other good ones too and maybe a few weaker ones.

The remixes on Disc 2 are a throw-in but aren't the highlight here. The original MFAST is why you need this debut by a major industrial artist.

Innovative and industrial!.......2002-09-11

One of the best bands to come out of Germany,Wumpscut plays dark-industrial!Cool isn't it?

classic dark aggro ebm.......2002-05-09

i owned the original mfast for a while but lately i purchased this double disc because my original is wickedly scratched. anyway, this is basically the original mfast with a different track order and a remix cd. the remix cd is pretty useless, i don't like one of the remixes on here even if they were remixed by artist i usually like, (i.e. aghast view, haujobb, dive etc.) back to the original mfast. this is a classic of harsh, dark ebm. it kicks in with soylent green, which was the first wumpscut song i ever listened to and it still remains one of my favorites. with it's dark atmospheric organ like synth lines and heavy beats it is a excellent song, dark, danceable and aggressive. the german samples from the movie soilent green also add to the atmosphere. other standout tracks are fear in motion, a more danceable but equally dark song, with mildly distorted female vocals, the furious concrete rage and the more quiet but disturbing she's dead. short, this is a classic of modern ebm, i fully recommend this to anyone who claims to like the industrial genre

Classic Wump........2007-06-20

I love this album. This is the re-issue of the classic Wumpscut album Music For A Slaughtering Tribe (Germany in case you were wondering). The best songs IMO, are "She Is Dead", "Soylent Green", and of course "Concrete Rage". The remastered job done on this abum makes it a good buy because it sounds fresh and new instead of old and poorly mastered.
