This three song tape by Audio Paradox is a sheer delight to listen to. Industrial music done right without a doubt. This is a great addition for those into The Way Sect Bloom or Aleixa. Heavily keyboard influenced there is no denying the underlying guitars on this tape at all. They make for a solid and driving rhythm foundation to all the songs.
There is no way anyone who is into industrial should be without some Audio Paradox music. So why isn't the rating higher? Well chances are you have some Audio Paradox already. As mentioned this is only a three song tape and all of the songs have been included on a variety of industrial compilation CDs. The two songs I have heard previously are Parasitic and Grace One, and are incredible songs without a doubt.
However Ageless is a song that amazes me. If you've heard these guys on one of those comps and are just crazy over them consider getting this tape just to hear Ageless.
Quality wise I'm again stunned. I had this tape in my stereo and playing it LOUD and there was so much music and sounds that were all so distinct and crisp.
If you are treading the dark industrial waters and have not heard Audio Paradox then this is an inexpensive addition to your music collection that you will be glad you purchased.

There's also a little cool bass guitar, which one doesn't too often hear…
