ValdiviaListeners who sit through Cyberpunx (the sixth album released by the Cassandra Complex) expecting anything distinctive or original will be sorely disappointed. From the metallic guitars to the affected vocals, walls of synths, and nihilistic shock lyrics (such as the killer who gets sexually aroused in "Nice Work If You Can Get It"), this is as ordinary an industrial album as you can get. This doesn't necessarily mean that the Cassandra Complex is incompetent or sloppy. Most of the music is sharply constructed and deftly played and the production is full and polished, impressive for an indie-label act. It does mean, though, that there is precious little to make Cyberpunx especially compelling. There are a few memorable moments, such as the sax solo in "Happy Days (War Is Here Again)" and the epic "Sleeper," which almost sounds poignant, but for the most part, the Cassandra Complex just seem vaguely derivative. Ultimately, for all its noise and polish, the album is strangely bloodless and forgettable, and while hardcore industrial fans will get the most out of Cyberpunx, anyone else will be unimpressed. Artist Profile (www.Allmusic.com or other) Artist Biography by MacKenzie WilsonThe darkwave unit the Cassandra Complex formed in 1980 with Paul Dillion and Rodney Orpheus, a musically inspired duo in search of playing to big music events, specifically tagged "complex events." Andrew Booth, who was formerly a journalist who interviewed the Cassandra Complex, was asked to join the group and the Cassandra Complex was officially a trio rearing the industrial-dance sounds laid underground during the early '80s.Throughout the '80s, the band was signed to the independent label, Rouska Records. Releasing a set of 12" singles, the Cassandra Complex became a familiar favorite among the goth rock crowd, but changes were quickly occurring within the makeup of the band. Dillion left the group toward the end of the decade, being replaced by Jez Willis, Keith Langley, and John Marchini. Volker Zacharias of Girls Under Glass also joined in 1990.As the mid-'90s approached, the Cassandra Complex already had a slew of releases to their name: Theomania (1988), Satan, Bugs Bunny and Me (1989),Cyberpunx (1990), The War Against Sleep (1991), and Sex & Death (1994). In 1995, Orpheus hooked up with Patricia Nigiani and Marcus Giltes for a side project called Sun God while balancing the Cassandra Complex. Still undeterred by his various projects, Orpheus pushed the newly directed goth-industrial sounds of the Cassandra Complex in the direction of playing festivals across Europe. Two years later, the band began working on Wetware, their first for Metropolis Records, which was released in fall 2000.
