———————————————————
KMFDMs sixth album, Money, was released in February 1992, and recorded in Hamburg, Germany. It was originally intended to be named Apart, with each of the two core members, Sascha Konietzko and En Esch, recording half an album and combining their work, but ended up using only Konietzkos half along with additional songs. It received mixed reviews, but spawned a number of club hits. It went out of print in the late 1990s and was re-released in 2006.
Sascha Konietzko and En Esch split up during the tour with My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult in 1990. With the budget split in half, Konietzko and Esch each wrote half the songs for the album. However, Eschs half was rejected by Wax Trax! Records. The record company gave them more money and Konietzko finished the album by including new remixes of previously released material. A number of other tracks intended for the album ended up on other albums or singles.
Critical reception:
allmusic.com called it “excellent” and state that “a blistering metal guitar, distorted industrial vocals, and a syncopated dance beat could indeed be united into a cohesive, exciting whole.”
The Tech said “for the most part aggressive, ferocious songs… with surprisingly strong musicianship. Sex on the Flag is the albums best song, and its chorus is addictive. The albums first two tracks are exceptional and entertaining. The album is very strong and fierce but… actually quite easy to listen to.”
Total length:
54:40
