GSG9 - Mogadishu

Review by Ib Trebbien

Mogadishu by GSG9 is a powerful and intense album that pushes the boundaries of electronic music. The album is a fusion of various genres, including techno, industrial, and ambient, creating a unique sound that is both atmospheric and energetic.

The album's opening track, "Black Hawk Down," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving beats and haunting melodies. The track is a tribute to the US military's failed mission in Somalia in 1993, and the band's use of sound effects and samples from news broadcasts adds a sense of realism to the track.

The album continues with tracks like "Spartan," which features heavy, distorted bass lines and aggressive percussion, and "Mogadishu," which creates a tense and suspenseful atmosphere with its use of glitchy, distorted sounds.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ghost," which features haunting vocals and a dreamy, atmospheric sound that is both beautiful and eerie. The track is a departure from the album's more aggressive sound, but it serves as a welcome break from the intensity of the other tracks.

Summary by Ib Trebbien

Mogadishu by GSG9 is a bold and exciting album that showcases the band's talent for creating unique and powerful electronic music. The album is a must-listen for fans of industrial and techno music, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who gives it a chance.
