LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Whether the choice of Bill Laswell as producer for this 1986 Motorhead LP was a threat to the heavy distinctive sound of the band or a curious and new attempt to change paths and move towards a more contemporary 'industrial-noise' approach, Orgasmatron offers some choking moments of noise attack that may have lifted an eyebrow or two in their fans but comprehensively it was just what the band needed to get the motormachine roadster back on track. If this is not what you expected from Motörhead, listen to 'Deaf Forever' and the title track as they open and close to a feast of clanging engines. Gatefold album with printed inner sleeve
