The debut release of the German project AI-Zero (based by Maikko A., a part of «Human Decay» and «mind.area» bands together with his collaborator Flesh Wire) is a work in the genre, which the authors called «cyberpop».
It's like a report from the future or from a parallel reality where all the dire predictions of cyberpunk adepts have come true: hard but not fast mechanical rhythm, often oddly broken (and in those moments reminiscent whether about dubstep, whether on cult works of «Haujobb»), is a dark and mesmerizing in its technological complexity atmosphere like calculated by omnipotent artificial intelligence and, at the same time, not devoid of ordinary human sentiment expressed in the regular circulation to the melodies and ideas of electronic music of the 80s, which seemed very futuristic in those early days and has not lost its charm to this day. This is the rigid texts criticizing the existing orderliness and singing hymns to it, sometimes calling to choose which side you will be in the end, it's a dark vocals and sampled guitar clang. This is music that can cause association with «Skinny Puppy» as easily as recall the "voluminous" epics about the future by «Mind In a Box».
