A noisy record basically comprised of guitar feedback, synthesizer distortion and rigid drum programming, Information Overload Unit saw SPK still working through their influences, notably Suicide and Throbbing Gristle. The track titles, including gems like "Suture Obsession" and "Epilept: Convulse," tell much of the story...(AllMusic)
