Slick Idiot is En Esch and Guenter Schulz, the other half of KMFDM that didn't become MDFMK, and this is the mail order debut from their own Itchy Records. Surprise! It sounds an awful lot like KMFDM and that's fine with me. And goofy band name and album title aside, it sure is good to hear these guys again. The basic formula is the same: Esch's distinctive deep growl, Schulz's metal riffage, dance beat and synth programming (less flashy and complex than KMFDM/MDFMK), some female co-/backing vocals and sing-along choruses. Lyrically Esch foregoes the sociopolitical rabble rousing of his former band in favor of more emotional and interpersonal topics. "Lazy" is the most humorous with Esch and a female trading off old school rap styled boasts such as "yeah I'm En Esch and you can't fuck me - I got my shit on your record and shiny CD". "Forgive Me" drops the guitar while the following tracks "Idiot" and "Get Down - Give In [Sex Song]" provide the heaviest and sexiest riffs of the disc, as well as the barely adequate rapping of one Middleman on the former. Nice, though I know they're capable of more judging from Esch's superb '93 solo album "Cheesy" and Schulz's re-mixes for KMFDM. Full length mp3s and video clips are available at slickidiot.com ...
