Last year, after a decade’s hiatus, Olivier Moreau resurrected Imminent (formerly known as Imminent Starvation), the moniker by which he pioneered the convergence of industrial power and electronic music in the 1990s. After his seminal record Nord in 1999, Moreau smashed his mixing desk, and gave pieces of it away with a limited edition of the disc. Since then, Olivier has worked on a variety of collaborations as Axiome, Ambre and Myrza.

However, Moreau has not allowed Imminent to flounder, instead, in the best ad man’s jargon, has “cask conditioned” his music to achieve its full potential.

like any good whisky that has to mature for at least 10 years in a cask, it took the same time for this release to maturate - and it was worth awaiting the ripening. indeed the music is comparable to a cask strength whisky’s taste: raw, aggressive, powerful, without any concession or any additive to dilute it’s true nature, but it also includes a lot of complexity that awaits to be discovered by a true connoisseur.

Imminent’s Cask Strength is available on CD, and in a special boxed edition. There is also a whisky tumbler available. Having just completed a successful tour of Russia, Imminent play London on the 27th November.
