From 1979-1982 there was only ONE minimal synth / industrial band in Michigan and that band was ZYKLON. Killer washes of heavy electronic noise connected by buzzes of melodic synth. Totally WEIRD SHIT that sounded like nothing else. This CD is a heavy historical document of MICHIGAN NOISE! - Aaron Dilloway. "A three man, three synthesizer "Industrial-Electro" pop group from Grand Rapids, Michigan comprising T. Purdy, B. Younker and S. Zuidema (all 1960-). Active 1979-1982. Self produced single "Wir Sind" b/w "Gary, IN" and "Part Time" (GRiM Records, 1981) distinguishes Zyklon as first electronica recording artist to champion Industrial noise as music genre." Zyklon. Includes the self released cassette and 7" (they also had a track on a very early SUB POP cassette!) as well as tons of unreleased tracks. Word on the street is that the track "Gary, IN" was supposed to be included on the infamous "I Hate The Pop Group" comp but was cut due to space limitations. Highly recommended!
