MAKE WAY FOR THE RUMBLER is a new 1984 release by this aggressive American electronic outfit. Smersh take their name from the fictitious Russian organization from Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 novels. The music of these 10 upbeat electro-abrasive improvisations are rich with well-mixed influences. It is an unfortunate tendency to rely on influences for description’s sake but Smersh uses them in such a way that for us they end up sounding a lot better sometimes. Take Kraftwerk’s technopop sound minus the cartoons, mix in a little OLD Cabaret Voltaire histrionics plus some Chrome-ish psycho-violence and you have a sound that’s grating, brutal, nightmarish, and VERY DANCEABLE. A very NOW sound with a definite European flavor. Get it!
