The Klinik: Box

The Klinik’s “Box,” originally released in 1990 by Antler/Subway on vinyl and CD, collects material produced between 1984 and 1988. Created by Dirk Ivens and Marc Verhaegen, the project features cold, dark, raw electro industrial sound described as threatening and commercially uncommercial. The reissue, released October 30 on 180-gram vinyl in a single album sleeve, includes three records with original cover art and previously unpublished photographs. Notable tracks include “Nautilus II,” “Surviving In Europe,” “Talking To A Stranger,” and the nearly 26-minute “Decay.” The music employs atmospheric analogue soundscapes with samples rather than driving rhythms. The reviewer characterizes the work as cult status in alternative electro underground circles, describing it as one of the most impressive musical works produced in Belgium, intensely powerful and essential, though warning that anxious listeners should avoid it.
