Albums The Eyes of Time's Conception

Press Reviews ENVY IS BLIND (aka Mike Poggenburg) has finally dropped its very first release, a six song EP called "The Eyes Of Time's Conception." EIB stands along side Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy & other industrial acts, but has its own unique noise/harsh-filled sound. The disc kicks off with "Synthetic Evolution," an aggressive, hard-floor dance track with a dark EBM beat. This is the best song that stands the album out and could be the first single to be played at all the underground clubs and radio stations. "Requiem" follows next, which is dedicated to the event that happened after the September 11th incident.... ENVY IS BLIND brings out the cold and mean definition of sound from machines with soundtrack themes, atmospheric surroundings and a mature club/dance feel. Buy the CD, you won't be disappointed.
