Review by Jerry Kranitz
Abortive Gasp are the German trio of Hartmut Lühr (sequencer), Stefan Trines (samples, guitar) and Tim Pahl (voice, noisy treatments). This performance was recorded live in Hamburg on December 19, 1989.
The entire set consists of incessantly pounding dancefloor electronica for your all-night industrial rave party. We’ve got a mix of Pahl’s vocal cord strained yelling, along with an assortment of mangled machine shop effects. I like the coldly electronic rhythmic groove and sometimes staccato pulses.
The yelling can get disturbingly anguished, especially when the vocals are echoed, layered, looped or whatever effects they’re using. Yelling was by no means unusual with this kind of music, but Pahl’s delivery is the one element that gives Abortive Gasp at least some character of their own. This is cool stuff but they otherwise sound like a gazillion other bands from the 1980s industrial dance scene.
