Scanner Vs. Signs Ov Chaos (1997)

Cost: $1.00
This CD is available for trade.

Bought this as trade fodder only.  You can tell just by looking at the cover this isn't anything metal, but I thought I'd do a quick post as a warning since this was released on Earache.

Both acts are solo techno projects.  At first, it seems that Signs Ov Chaos is harsher, with a more industrialized, experimental feel and heavy use of spoken word samples, while Scanner is more ambient influenced.  But then on each of their last tracks they flip-flop those characteristics to some extent.  
Not my cup of tea, but I chuckled at the Signs Ov Chaos tune "Michael Jackson," which consists of distorted samples of the King of Pop's name being spoken put to upbeat techno.  Scanner also does a "Michael Jackson" track with the same kind of general concept, but I didn't find it as absurdly humorous.
