Cut is the second studio album by C-Tec, released on 15 February 2000 by Synthetic Symphony. The album was ranked #25 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) Top 50 Albums of 2000. On 5 October 2018 the album was reissued as a music download with an additional track titled "Until We Disappear" and written by Marc Heal.
Reception
Niklas Forsberg of Release Magazine awarded the album six out of ten, describing the music as "almost exclusively overdone in the sense that the aggressiveness became too dominant" and saying "the one thing making me give "Cut" a grade above average is due to the participation of veteran, almost cult declared artist Jean-Luc De Meyer." Regen said "In many ways, Cut is an improvement on Darker – the production is cleaner and has a more modern sheen" and "the palette of sound is more consistent, making it a more cohesive album." The critic went on to claim "it also feels like it plays it, if not safe, at least safer, leaning more toward traditional industrial sounds and beats... but a really solid version of those sounds."
