Review - :
{^Nada!} was the breakthrough record where {$Death in June} abandoned the mix of {\industrial} noise, {\punk}, and {$Joy Division}-styled mayhem to embark on a new style of apocalyptical {\folk}, and though {$Current 93}, {$Death in June} spin-off bands like {$Sixth Comm} and {$Sol Invictus}, and countless other groups on {@World Serpent} followed that path, {$Death in June} was one of the pioneers. Acoustic guitars feature heavily on {&"The Honour of Silence,"} the short {&"Leper Lord,"} {&"(Behind the Rose) Fields of Rape,"} and {&"She Said Destroy,"} most of them co-written with {$David Tibet} of {$Current 93}. In fact {&"Fields of Rape"} has some of the same lyrics as the piece of the same name on {$Current 93}'s nightmarish {^Dogs Blood Rising}, but instead of mixing nursery rhyme and distorted screams with {\industrial} noises, the {$Death in June} version turns the piece into a rather catchy {\folk} song, though one imbued to the core with gloom and decay. The rest of the album traverses similar territory, despair and torture, death and war, utter bleakness. A few of the tracks revert to the earlier {$Death in June} of mechanical rhythms and strange sound effects, and {&"Crush My Love"} offers strange repeated keyboard textures and droning vocals with some weird effects at the end. Except for the stupid {&"C'Est un Reve,"} a piece about Nazi war criminal {%Klaus Barbie}, {^Nada!} is excellent stuff. ~ Rolf Semprebon, All Music Guide
