Pig is Raymond Watts with Steve White, Sakurai Atsushi, Imai Hisashi, Gunter Schulz, Rob Henry, Jennie Bellestar, Ruth McArdle, Lian Warmington, Julian Beeston and Giles Littlefield.
Overall impression: excellent. Once again Mr. Watts seamlessly blends "industrial" with crunching guitar, beats, samples, growling vocals and female vocals into a big sonic soup. And, as usual, he does it better than sometime bandmates KMFDM. Take any recent KMFDM album, then add about 200% more sound, interesting lyrics and better songwriting and you'll get something close to "Wrecked". This album is in the same vein as the previous album, "Sinsation" on Nothing Records, but there's more drum n' bass fills on this one (not overdone) and more "songs" (there's only 1 instrumental). Most of the songs are upbeat, all of them are heavily layered. A lot of time and effort was put into this album. Great artwork too, various pics of Raymond's contorted and mashed body. Highly recommended to "Sinsation" fans and KMFDM fans looking for a little more.
