a review by Christian Mumford from Aural Innovations #23 (April 2003):

"A 43 track CDR described as "punk/improv/rhythmical/ambient/noise from past and present", Siemers is a German avant-garde punk/noise outfit claiming to have existed since 1957. For those who are fans of Einstürzende Neübaten's industrial works, Deathsquad UK's noise and EBM flavored workouts or Ulver's post black-metal works like "Perdition City", Siemers must seem to hit the mark. Quite exciting and experimental, the 43 compositions here seem to echo a tight and workmanlike approach to making modern and experimental music. It's possibly the lost soundtrack to the last generation of goths, what more can I say? They do surprisingly do a violent cover of The Kinks "You Really Got Me" which also kicks ass. What more can you ask for? "Inter pares" is indeed an intellectually stimulating work. Recommended."
