For a band fairly unknown in the states, TFS has been a staple in the German club scene for a number of years. Fortunately, they maintain a harsh vocal edge throughout, in addition to an occassional brash sample.
Vocals range from compressed to untreated and even include some harmonies.
Between the main songs, short sampled pieces ranging from ambient to industrial somehow tie it all together. If Machine Bites sounds like a garbled mess, you've missed the point. The Fair Sex manage to stretch across the electro field but never loose touch with their vision of dance rhythms and melodies. If you're unfamiliar with their name, join the club but something this good should not go unnoticed much longer. They have three releases on Roof Music and five on Rough Trade.
