Cable Regime - Life in the house of the enemy (1992)

Welcome back after a short summer break. Everything should be returning back to normal during the next few weeks, and updates should start dropping more frequently.

With the welcome out of the way, there's been a few requests for more Cable Regime waiting in my inbox. As I aim to please, we'll be going through the rest of the Regime discography that I have at hand in irregular intervals. We'll begin the series with the first full length, Life in the house of the enemy.

As the story goes, Permis De Construire Deutschland wanted to release an album by Cable Regime, and after the boys gave their OK, they got and spent most of their prepayment, presumably on something that had nothing to do with the recording process whatsoever, unless we're talking about an inspirational process here, and were left with a few rehearsal tracks and no full length album.

Luckily fellow Birminghamian Justin Broadrick was in possession of an 8-track and soon the Regime was booked in Rich Bitch Studios for a recording session. Steve Hough recalls the album "(...) was recorded pretty much live as I remember, at a rehearsal room using boundary mics". After a final mixing and production job at Broadrick's own Avalanche Studio, the album was ready to be released.

After this rather drawn-out history lesson, I'd better let you dig into the music without any further diversions or lengthy "reviews". Enjoy this fatal concoction of Big Black's drum machine fury combined with the Godfleshesque howling guitar and feedback attacks, this is psychedelic and noisy industrial rock in it's purest form. Highly recommended!
