Freak Guitar

This Swede manages to pull off softcore porno background music quite well. Not that this actually was written for any, but I could see how it would work, since there are lots of techno rhythms and pulsating tempos to keep the listener pumping. The most peculiar aspect to his music is that it is a clever and commendable meshing of early to mid-'80s rock with rave/trance music. The cover of Kiss's "Detroit Rock City," however, is the proverbial stone in the shoe of this album. And if you're still convinced of this rave thing, you could equate it to that brutal stretch of time when you are coming down off of E in a nasty way.
