KMFDM's second album for Wax Trax!, 1988's DON'T BLOW YOUR TOP, finds the dance-industrialists still working up to the furiously pummeling sonics of their popular '90s sound. But the album still packs plenty of punch for the late '80s, a time when the band's marriage of dancey, machine-driven beats, metal-derived edge, and hypnotic chants and loops was fresh and original. Along with Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM would go on to perfect its tough, industrial-dance music in the '90s, but DON'T BLOW YOUR TOP is a fine early entry from one of the genre's most overlooked groups.

The German industrial dance act KMFDM were one of the first bands to recognize the link between the mechanical ferocity of industrial music and the unrelenting rhythms of the dance floor. Although they formed in Germany in 1984, they soon made a name for themselves in the United States as one of the premier bands on the seminal Chicago industrial label Wax Trax. While their popularity faltered a bit in the wake of more cartoonish American versions of KMFDM's aesthetic, the band's influence on industrial music can not be underestimated.
