UAIOE is the third studio album by the German industrial band KMFDM.[1][2] It was released on 7 October 1989 by Cash Beat Records. Several 1970's "rock" bands are referenced: The album's title track borrows heavily from the lyrical tropes of Frank Zappa, whereas the song "En Esch" is, lyrically, a cover version of Deep Purple's "Demon's Eye" (which also features the opening riff from Slayer's "Jesus Saves").[citation needed]

Release

[edit]

UAIOE was released in 1989 by Cash Beat Records in Germany, by Deutschland Strikeback Records in the United Kingdom and by Wax Trax! Records in the United States. A remastered reissue of UAIOE was released on 12 September 2006 with new liner notes and photos of the band.[3]

UAIOE received somewhat positive reviews. Andy Hinds of AllMusic said the work sounded more complete than previous releases, and called "More & Faster" the band's first classic song.[4] Robert Christgau said the album was "groovier than the noise norm" and said the guest vocalists "add personality".[5]
