They are not standard EBM, and they do not fit in an exact genre category, which is part of the brilliance of this band.Another influence was the New Age movement that included acts like Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis.At that date, Pitchfork had become one of the most popular music groups of the German Dark Wave culture.
The result of this musical blend has been released on the albums Chakra:Red (1997), Eon:Eon (1998) and the most successful work Daimonion (2001). I fell in love with it immediately and and it wasnt long after I had acquired there entire back catalog, and En Garde and Chakra Red that were released shortly after. Ive always thought Dhyani to be a little primitive sounding and not as interesting, but I can say with confidence that I love all of their output from Lam-Bras through to Daimonion (with the exception of Steelrose and its countless remixes that I never much cared for). I didnt follow them beyond that, until I went back over the last three years or so and have picked up all the albums released from 2009-2016. Though I have only listened to each a few times, none of them have blown me away, again they seem to be churning out the same generic stuff over and over. I discovered them by a couple of IO era tracks I heard on their europian label sampler The Tyranny Off The Beat by OffBeat records. The 2 PP tracks it contained (while certainly interesting and unique) did not inspire me to buy anything by them right away (unlike Haujobbs amazing World Window). That type of interest didnt begin to manifest until I heard the mix of their The Animal track on Industrial Revolution: 3rd Edition. ![]() That was enjoyable enough for me to purchase the album and a single. And I stayed a pretty loyal fan of that era (which had PP getting away from the more Puppyesque sound of their early days and trading for a more gothic synthwave sound; staying just dark enough to shake off the dreaded future-pop label and keep electro-industrialEBM fans like me happy. That began to take serious changes starting with Dream, Tiresias. Which found Spilles voice trading actual smooth singing for a much more gravely, dark sound. In addition to the vocals, the instrumentation was also more stripped-down and not as melodic. I wasnt particularly fond of the changes even if I respected them. The album had its moments but I just couldnt get into it like the prior 4 albums. And that has continued with subsequent releases. I also find their theatrics and cover art to be rather derivative, egotistical, and silly. And it borrows motifs, fashions, and theatrics created by much more influential bands such as Skinny Puppy, NIN, and Marlyn Mansion. The reviewer obviously doesnt get them or barely listened to them to make such a harsh opinion and compare them to bands they have little in common with. ![]() Project Pitchfork Timekiller Rar Full Length ReleasesThe last 3 full length releases by Project Pitchfork however may be the best things they have ever done, at the least they hold up to their best work of the 1990s. There is something to this band unlike any others I have ever listened too.
