Exactly 2 years after their energetic US debut album ´Ecclesiophobia´, TAXIM now has the energy system running on reserve power; at least thematically.

On their new 6 track EP ´Psychologenfutter´, and how could it be different, System Cs is getting back unwanted content from System Ucs - a picture of Sigmund Freud's couch that was used during his sessions would have been a great front cover for this release as well.

As for the music, TAXIM mostly offer well-engineered techno-industrial at various harshness. The song material of the trance-ish original version has been remixed three times over. It goes from some of the calm flair of the 1980s to hard beats for the dance-floor, each respectively for your neck fracture at home.

Additionally to this set of versions, there's one of those TAXIM typical high-speed attacks: in this case a little hardcore influenced (´Positiv Negativ´). There is also a funny-farm ringing remix of the title track, by the also German dark electro-duo e:o:nity.
