Although the electronic sound assaults seems like a long way from this artist's punk rock roots, the inspiration from punk prophets like Conflict, Discharge and Crass is still of great importance to 100Blumen - that is a citizen of full age, the scrutinization of authorities, politics and beliefs.
But he does not consider his music 'political'; however track titles and some samples can be used as thought provoking impulses - if the listener decides to. Musically, 'Floral Annihilation' is a consolidated package of energetic, percussive pieces, interlaced with many facets of electronic sounds - repetitive, impulsive and suggestive.
100Blumen focuses on a balance between hard danceable industrial noise (characterized by the artist's own description of 'polyrhythmic rock and roll') and lo-fi influenced less aggressive tunes.
All this is combined with a 100Blumen / Loss collaboration ('Pussywillow') and two remixes by P.A.L. and Heimstatt Yipotash. This cd is a truly fine follow up to 'In Floriculture there is no law!'
