THESE ARE ABRIDGED VERSIONS OF REVIEWS :

Sept 12, 2007 By Alkatraz Via Erica Bathym for VOICES MAGAZINE

Compulsory Skin's PiaPale

"..But let me tell you the sound of this female led mystery has a haunting vibe, tickling your chin as you feet leave the floor. It's the ghost of your dead wifes perfume, fogging up the room, reminding you how sweet life can be.
..their sound is so stirring it makes me rethink what I feel good music is right now.
Their sound resonates through you forcefully while the soft and at times gritty-kitty voice of PiaPale lure you towards the grave..."

This review was written The Pine Bluff Commercial :

CompulsorySkin "Naked To The Bones" (Danse Macabre Records)

"10 years in the making, CompulsorySkin's first album has significant promise. Songwriting and production by the gem of Berlin, PiaPale, are exceptional and lend to comparisons to America's own industrial genius, Trent Reznor.
Vocally, PiaPale envokes the haunting 80's gothic feminine ideal of Siouxsie Sioux and mixes in a grittiness that fits perfectly into the emotionally intense, electronically driven industrial sound that makes this album worth the wait. The girl can scream but she's careful to do so only when the feel of the music demands it, and the whole album is equally proportionate and very carefully calculated..."
CompulsorySkin - All You Can Eat

Abridged Review by Gregory S. Burkart for FEAR.net

"Founded 15 years ago by singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist PiaPale (real name Valeska Weich), Compulsory Skin processes the artist's emotional inner works through the filter of hard electronics and multi-layered production to weave a 13-chapter saga of anger, pain and desire. Equally adept with guitar, bass, keyboards and even the accordion,... but this is no home-project operation. The studio recordings of these songs are as fully-fleshed, precisely arranged and expertly crafted as any big-budget studio product – but with a coarse, intimate, personal vibe that glossy major label recordings usually miss. You can tell right away that Pia has poured all of herself into this material, and scores where it counts....but I also get strong echoes from the dawn of the Industrial era (check out “ConsensualMotors”), of which Germany can claim proud parentage. Although Pia's intense, smoky vocals are difficult to describe, Siouxsie Sioux is the first name that springs to mind with its tarnished burlesque feel (apparent in cuts like “AllYouCanEat”) along with the avant-garde touch of New Wave vamp Mona Mur (especially in the title track) and more than a hint of Shikhee from Android Lust (“Smeared” seems a virtual homage to Lust's “Stained”)...There's also a raw purity in Pia's lyrical style, which seems to come from a real emotional place, further twisted through a colorful visual sensibility (“A picture of your souls how they were meant to be/Hanging on the wall of my living room”), a gift for crafting unusual hooks and the courage to hammer them home relentlessly – often to great effect, in tracks like “BonesOfThePast.” The result rises above standard electro-pop or hard techno to become something strange, challenging and moving..."
CompulsorySkin - STAINED

Aus Salzburg24:
"CD-Tipp:
Compulsory Skin - "Naked To The Bones"

Wer hätte das gedacht:
Es gibt eine weibliche Trent Reznor - und sie kommt aus Berlin!
Unter dem Projektnamen "Compulsory Skin" macht Pia Pale lupen­reinen Industrial in bester NIN-Manier.... Aber singen kann die gute Frau um Lichtjahre besser als der Kollege aus den USA.Meistens auf volle Power gehend, kommt in ruhigeren Momenten eine wunderbare Sanftheit in Pia Pale's Stimme zum Vorschein, die man sich noch weitaus öfter auf dem Album wünschen würde, da sie einen tollen Kontrast zur druckvollen Musik bildet.
Druckvoll sind auch die Texte. Sehr böse und oft auch wütend geht es auf "Naked To The Bones" zu. Viel Sex, viel Schmerz - mit dieser Dame sollte man sich besser nicht anlegen!"

"...Vielmehr gestaltet sich Titel um Titel ausgesprochen spannend und vielfältig. Immer dann, wenn man glaubt, alle Facetten der Pruduktion entdeckt zu haben, kommt Neues dazu. Für PiaPale ist Musik ganz generell dazu geeignet, sich so richtig auszutoben... ...Und das hat PiaPale bestmöglich auf ihrem Album genutzt." (Zillo 10/07 S. 113)

"das beste Debütalbum seit Jahren" 8. Februar 2008
Von Etheriel
CompulsorySkin - Naked to the Bones, das Debütalbum läuft derzeit bei mir in Dauerrotation, jeder Song ist Eigenständig und überzeugend, alles ist frisch daran. Ein extrem guter Mix aus Industrial Rock und Pop, der gelegentlich sogar in den Crossover driftet.
Im Web kursieren Lobhudeleien bis hin zu der Aussage weiblicher Trent Reznor(!).
"all you can eat" hat was vom NIN-Klassiker Closer
"Naked to the Bones" erinnert an die Guano Apes
"the world in me" ist eine großartige Rocknummer die fast unbemert zu einem kräfigem Finale anschwillt.
"bones of the past" ist der poppigste Song mit Ohrwurmqualität.
und kauft die Scheibe!"
