Serpentine kraut/electro-rock grooves from purposefully anonymous technotoca groop, a quartet of mysterious Midwestern ManMachines who have created a monster slab of funkified, rhythm-driven, synth-propelled, instrumental techno-ambient rock, from Champaign, IL. Slinkier than their awesome debut, groovier too. KAROSHI (Japanese for 'death from overwork') is a dark, moody, sometimes scary disc, that rocks like Kraftwerk's tricked-out American/Autobahn muscle car with King Crimson riding shotgun, like ambienteers Orbital tied to Tangerine Dream's klassic krautrocking rhythm tracks , but the grooves are looser, funkier, more dramatic. KAROSHI is enhanced with video and what are described as 'irritating' computer games fro your Mac/PC.
