    "The Iniquity of Time" is the debut release for Audio Paradox. Members Josh Pyle (vocals, programming, sampling, keyboards and guitar), Matthew Edwards (keyboards, programming and backing vocals) and River Tunnel (guitar, bass) have created an amalgamation of electronica, techno, industrial, and gothic musics.
    "Time to Burn" opens the CD with a throbbing rhythm and a melody like a Mobius strip. Pyle's vocals are the monotone recitation that this style seems to demand, which is not bad, only predictable.
    "Transgression" is a more industrial composition with gothic elements (especially the vocal) and it is the highlight of the CD. It's layers and rhythms are curious and attractive. "Grace One" is industrial as well, but it leans much more toward electronica with its danceable beats and hooks.
    "Parasitic" appears twice on the CD, the second time as "the fistful of spaghetti mix." The song has ominous synth melodies and razor slices of guitar to accompany Pyle's menacing lyrics and venomous delivery. The remix is more sinister, with a droning intro and more harsh synth lines.
    Audio Paradox will appear on the compilation "Ebb and Flow: A Tribute to Nitzer Ebb."
