A milestone in Thorofon's
back catalogue, 'Final Movement' was released on the band's own
UMB label in 2002. A very limited version of the album had a 10"
included which is also present on this CD re-issue. And in addition,
we have thrown in a previously unreleased track so the playing time
is extended to nearly 80 minutes. Thorofon are a German-based duo
consisting of Genevieve Pasquier (who also records as a solo artist)
and Anton Knilpert. Although their sound is very unique, their roots
lie in classic 80's Industrial - 'Final Movement' starts where SPK
stopped in the mid Eighties. 'Bloodheat' is more your Cabaret Voltaire
or Portion Control. A killer album first time on CD.
"Das zweite Album von Thorofon (..) entwickelte sich nach einiger
Zeit zu einem Klassiker der was-weiss-cih-Generation des Industrial.
Nicht ganz unschuldig an diesem Erfolg war der Track "Riotdictator",
der in seiner Industrial-Punk-Attitüde stark an Klassiker von SPK
erinnerte und bei Konzerten und Clubs lethargische wie beleibte
Tanzbären zu lächerlichen Pogo-Versuchen animierte. Mit diesem Album
addierten Thorofon erstmals verständliche Gesangsstrukturen und
Minimal-Elektro- bzw. Angst-Pop-Elemente zum harschen Industrial-
Sound und gingen somit ähnliche Wege wie Haus Arafna."
