Naïve by KMFDM
Naïve is an album by KMFDM, released in 1990. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Godlike”, on 3 lists with a best position of #41.
Naïve, KMFDM's fourth studio album, hit the racks on November 15, 1990, the first record the Hamburg-born crew made after signing straight to Wax Trax! Records. It came together right after their first trip to America, a tour alongside Ministry, and you can hear the road dust in it.
Sascha Konietzko runs the show, handling vocals, bass, guitars, keyboards and machines, with En Esch, Günter Schulz and drummer Rudolf Naomi in the ranks. The sound is industrial rock with its fists up and its hips moving: metal-weight guitar riffs grinding against dance beats, samples flying in from every direction, the whole thing built for the club floor as much as the mosh pit. Konietzko has his own name for the racket, The Ultra-Heavy Beat, and "Godlike" is its battering ram.
