Music: Ohgr: Welt, Hexfix93 Review.

WELT
|
I remember when this came out. I was burnt out from my tour the year before. I remember kind of being like, Wow. I like this more than Rx and download. I was kind of let down at first, because of how much I loved the old skinny puppy sound. But what I realize now, this is a great LP that stands the test of time.
There are HITS on this record. I cannot say that about most of the music in the industrial genre in the last 10 years. Seriously. I mean, really, this lp came out about 7 years ago, and I still listen to it and remember 2 or 3 of the songs really well. Catchy stuff.
My favorite track is Lusid. It’s so upbeat and catchy and fun. I always sing along with this track any time I listen to it. It’s the beat and the lyrics that really hook me. That is where ogre always really shines to me, on the lyrics and vocals.
Some might say I am nuts, but I honestly like this way more than the 2nd ohgr cd sunnysyop, and the last 2 skinny puppy cds. I just think this CD has this magical power to it. It kind of came out of the blue and brought a whole new sound to the scene.
The music production on this CD is strange. It doesn’t sound like anything else I have heard. Well, now I think the new puppy kind of borrows from this heavily. But for some reason I still think welt has more edge to it. I can tell they must track digital, all the vocal edits are very obvious. I still really like the raw sound of this record. This isn’t ultra evil, or spooky. Instead, it is brilliantly ALTERNATIVE and ORIGINAL.
Best tracks are, Water, Solow, Pore, Lusid, Suhleap, and Minus. I sure wish that they would do a new ohgr record that is even more catchy than this one. I hope he does another solo record for sure. I thought this really broke ground for it’s time, and still holds up over time.
I give this a 4 out of 5. Buy now! Click Here to buy Welt by Ohgr.

sounds great, reminds me alot of S.P.’s Mythmaker, just with out the industrial atmosphere & warped vocals. it’s full of creative fun-ness. my fav is Solow, just a catchy blast. love that video too.
