Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
In the late eighties, Van Christie and Jim Marcus were performance artists working in Chicago clubs on their own. Their first show ever was at the historic Medusa's Nightclub and was less about music than destruction and visual mayhem. After a performance at the Limelight that resulted in the closing of the room and a liberal amount of Press Coverage, they were invited to join the Fiction records roster alongside the Cure, Eat and the Associates, to be distributed by Polydor in the US. They released "I've Got To Make Sense" in 1988 as a single in support of Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign, charting at 23 on Billboard's dance chart and topping college club charts across the country.
Product Description
Produced in their own live studio, this is the first studio album released by Die Warzau since 1995's critically acclaimed ENGINE mixed styles and genres and cemented their reputation as electronic innovators to be imitated. At the same time both the most infectious and catchy record recorded by the seminal Chicago Industrial anti-pop band, CONVENIENCE is raw, noisy and aggressive. Christie's Production has never sounded more complex and listenable while Marcus' vocal range has grown to include a depth that has not been found on an industrial recording to date. The inclusion of Abel Garibaldi and Dan Evans into the core group has built a more powerful recording presence, demonstrated readily by CONVENIENCE's easy stylistic and technical maneuvers. While lyrically, the record is self-assured and fascinating from beginning to end, the party recording atmosphere of ENGINE has been met and bested. It's been nearly ten years and the wait has been well worth it.
