The Sound Of Warhammer 40.000

This is the full Warhammer 40.000 CD trilogy, out in Maral Salmassi's Cologne based Art Of Perception label during 2002-2003. (*)
The three CDs compile works by many artists, first out on twelve limited thematic 12''s, each one inspired by a different warrior race from the game (six of them to be exact). Even though some tracks were not written for or don't really have a direct connection to the game's theme, it's interesting to listen to those artists who did troubled themselves with the concept, even if musically they stuck to the thing they know how to do best. The atmosphere is harsh and a bit hostile (eternal war, etc, you know) so it's no surprise that some seriously heavy techno and noisy electro-punk (especially on the 1st CD) are main ingredients of this soup, while the Cologne style and sweet futuristic electro get a big share as well.
The whole concept is well thought and put together, while certain 12''s are for any taste, incredibly good and not really uncommon even though out of print for a long time. Check them where you find them.
Salmassi's current 'Love' concept is still running.
