You have to love the way Rudy Ratzinger keeps cranking them out. Since its 1991 debut, Ratzinger’s passion project :Wumpscut: has been on a prolific tear, cranking out albums and EPs at a pace that makes some artists green with envy. And it continues with Zuckerpuppe, the latest EP.
Now don’t get it twisted… just because :W: is prolific in output doesn’t mean that quality has been sacrificed. Far from it. Over these four songs, the listener will get the feel of a classic electro-industrial act from back in the day that simply has never lost its mojo.
Spoken word samples, vocals processed to an unintelligible degree, and hard-hitting dance beats all create a classic formula that – in the right hands – never gets old.
Additionally, each song is accompanied by an instrumental counterpart, which indeed allows for a different take and feel for the songs.
Long-standing :Wumpscut: should be satisfied with Zuckerpuppe, comfortable with the knowledge that there is more to come.
