Circuits firing and machines rising: Strict Tempo: Volume One (Part 1) and Part 2 deliver a retro-futuristic surge of EBM, darkwave, industrial, and Italo disco from the underground's finest. SOFT RIOT's Crux channels the early '80s DIY synth spirit into minimalist synthesizer post-punk with subtle humor and mild psychedelia, while Cathode Ray Tube delivers fractured braindance pulses and raw machine soul across four jagged transmissions. Pygmy Children resurface after two decades with distorted vocals and mechanical tension on Coincidental Strategies, and Austin's Dread Risks push bleak electro-industrial into melodic new territory. Pneumagnosis brings emotional dark dance energy, and Re:Mission Entertainment's 2025 compilation rounds it all out with 25 tracks spanning industrial, witch house, and experimental.
